How Does Individual Therapy at Anxiety Institute Work?
Individual therapy helps clients identify triggers, develop coping mechanisms, and change thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches, like CBT and ERP to help clients reduce symptoms and regain control over their lives.
Clinicians at Anxiety Institute specialize in evidence-based treatments such as CBT for anxiety, ERP—also known as exposure therapy—acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused CBT.
The duration of therapy for anxiety varies depending on individual needs. Some clients may benefit from short-term therapy over several weeks, while others may require ongoing support for several months or longer.

It provides a safe space to explore personal challenges and achieve lasting growth.

Who Is This Program For?
Individual therapy could be the right choice if your child is dealing with persistent anxiety, stress, OCD, or other emotional challenges that are affecting their daily life. A consultation can help assess your child’s needs and determine the most suitable treatment approach. If your child’s situation requires a higher level of care, we may recommend our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) as a more appropriate option.
While the focus of individual therapy is on the client, family involvement may be integrated into treatment when it is beneficial for the individual’s progress. Our clinicians collaborate with families to create a supportive environment that fosters recovery and long-term success.
We also offer Parent Coaching, a specialized service designed to guide parents in understanding their child’s anxiety, implementing effective strategies at home, and fostering healthier family dynamics. This coaching helps parents become active, supportive participants in their child’s therapeutic journey.
