Anxiety Therapy in Utah County | Find Calm at Palisades Counseling
Regain your sense of calm. Learn to live with more ease and confidence.
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy—and for good reason. While anxiety is a normal part of being human, persistent or overwhelming anxiety can interfere with your ability to think clearly, stay present, connect with others, and enjoy daily life. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of worry, panic, or avoidance, you are not alone—and healing is possible.
At Palisades Counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-informed therapy to help you understand your anxiety and regain a sense of steadiness in your life.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms. For some, it shows up as chronic worrying, physical tension, or difficulty concentrating. For others, it may involve panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or avoiding situations that feel overwhelming. Sometimes anxiety is tied to a specific cause, like a big life transition or a past trauma. Other times, it can seem to appear out of nowhere.
Common types of anxiety include:
- Generalized anxiety (persistent worry about various areas of life)
- Social anxiety (intense fear of being judged or rejected)
- Panic disorder (sudden, overwhelming episodes of fear or physical symptoms)
- Specific phobias
- Health anxiety
- Anxiety related to trauma or adverse experiences
- Performance or test anxiety
Anxiety often affects both the mind and the body. You might notice symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, or irritability. Over time, these symptoms can affect your health, your work, and your relationships.
The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable—and therapy can offer tools for both immediate relief and long-term change.
How Therapy Helps with Anxiety
Therapy for anxiety provides a space to better understand your experience, identify patterns that keep you stuck, and learn new ways of responding to stress. It isn’t about forcing yourself to “stop worrying” or pushing through fear—it’s about building awareness, developing tools, and making room for a more grounded and connected way of living.
Therapy can help you:
- Recognize the thoughts, behaviors, and triggers that fuel anxiety
- Learn practical techniques to calm your nervous system
- Build resilience and confidence in navigating uncertainty
- Address underlying issues such as trauma, perfectionism, or shame
- Improve relationships and communication
- Reconnect with what brings meaning and joy into your life
Whether your anxiety is new or something you’ve lived with for years, therapy can help you move from surviving to thriving.
