Anxiety Management

Trusted Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety is the most common type of mental health condition in the United States. With more than 40 million sufferers, therapy and other treatment options have evolved significantly. Talk therapy and traditional counseling are among the most popular resources that adults who struggle with anxiety rely on to cope with feelings of anxiety. Talk therapy without a strategy can only get you so far, though. At Wellington Counseling Group, we strive to ensure each and every session with our clients equips them with the tools they need to handle the stressors that present in their everyday lives. Let’s discuss in more depth what anxiety looks like and if therapy for anxiety at our Chicago offices might be right for you.

Understanding Anxiety

It seems like everywhere you turn there’s someone talking about the anxiety in their life. While those who’ve never been formally diagnosed might assume it’s an overly generalized disorder, anxiety truly is that prevalent in our society. The American Psychological Association defines anxiety as “an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure.” When we look at anxiety like that, it’s no surprise that everyone has felt this way at one time or another.
