Anxiety treatment for Arlington patients: who it helps

People from Arlington come to us for anxiety treatment for many reasons, including:

• Generalized anxiety disorder — constant, hard-to-control worry
• Panic disorder and panic attacks
• Social anxiety and performance anxiety
• Specific phobias and health anxiety
• Anxiety alongside depression, ADHD or insomnia
• Children and teens with school-related or separation anxiety

What to expect

1. Assessment: We clarify the type of anxiety, triggers, physical symptoms and any medical factors such as thyroid problems, caffeine or medications.
2. Treatment plan: Plans often combine therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — through a referral if needed — with medication when appropriate.
3. Medication options: When medication is used, clinicians typically start with long-term options such as SSRIs or SNRIs and use short-term medications cautiously.
4. Follow-up: Regular check-ins track progress, side effects and skills you are building, adjusting the plan as needed.

Is anxiety treated with medication or therapy?

Often both. Therapy such as CBT is highly effective, and medication can help when symptoms are moderate to severe or therapy alone is not enough. Your clinician will discuss what fits you.

How quickly does anxiety treatment work?

Many people notice improvement within several weeks, though medications like SSRIs can take 4–8 weeks for full effect.

Yes. Panic disorder is very treatable with a combination of skills-based therapy and, when appropriate, medication.
