Anxiety is the presence of excessive and persistent worry and fear about various events or activities – even ordinary, everyday situations. Anxiety disorders are very common, affecting about 40 million American adults, or 18% of the population.
Some typical symptoms include:
Day-to-day worries and fears are a normal part of life. In fact, most people experience anxiety at times. Whether you’re experiencing a major life transition like getting married or a stressful event like public speaking, it’s common to experience some amount of anxiety.
But when anxiety becomes so overwhelming that it affects your quality of life and your ability to get things done, it may be time to reach out for help.
The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable, and many people experience significant improvement with proper therapy. Our evidence-based approaches have helped numerous clients regain control of their lives and reduce anxiety symptoms.
We employ a range of evidence-based therapeutic methods tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Our therapists are skilled in multiple evidence-based therapies for anxiety, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients identify and modify negative thought patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encouraging clients to accept their feelings and commit to personal values as a guide to action.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): Specifically effective for OCD, this involves gradual exposure to anxiety-producing situations to diminish the response over time.
So, whether you’re dealing with generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, PTSD or specific phobias, our team is equipped to help you navigate and overcome these challenges.
Our therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan for you, tailored to your specific type of anxiety, ensuring the most effective approach for your unique situation.
In addition to traditional therapy, we’ll also provide you with proven strategies for managing anxiety, including mindfulness techniques, stress-reduction exercises and lifestyle changes.
In addition to individual therapy, DC Talk Therapy offers group therapy to support those with anxiety.
Our Young Adult Anxiety Group is designed for people to learn about their anxiety, share personal experiences, and give and receive support to each other.

Coping with extreme anxiety involves a combination of professional help and self-care strategies. At DC Talk Therapy, we work with you to develop personalized coping techniques. These may include deep breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and gradual exposure to anxiety-triggering situations. We also teach you how to challenge and reframe anxious thoughts, helping you regain control during intense moments of anxiety.
The 3-3-3 rule is a simple grounding technique we often recommend to our clients for managing acute anxiety. Here’s how it works:
This exercise helps bring your focus to the present moment, interrupting the cycle of anxious thoughts. While it’s not a cure-all, many of our clients find it helpful for quick anxiety relief.
While “healing” anxiety might not be the most accurate term, you can certainly learn to manage it effectively. At DC Talk Therapy, we focus on helping you understand your anxiety, develop coping strategies, and work through underlying issues. Through evidence-based therapies like CBT and ACT, many of our clients experience significant reduction in their anxiety symptoms and improved quality of life. Remember, managing anxiety is a journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
There’s no one-size-fits-all “strongest” treatment for anxiety, as effectiveness can vary based on individual needs and the specific type of anxiety disorder. However, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for many types of anxiety. At DC Talk Therapy, we often use CBT in combination with other evidence-based approaches to create a powerful, personalized treatment plan for each client.
While CBT remains a gold standard, there are always new developments in anxiety treatment. One newer approach we’re excited about is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps you accept your anxious thoughts while focusing on value-guided actions. We also stay updated on the latest research and incorporate new, evidence-based techniques into our practice as they emerge. Our goal is to offer you the most effective, up-to-date anxiety treatments available.
