Anxiety Therapy in Altamonte Springs
Compassionate support for the thoughts that won’t slow down.
You Don’t Have to Manage Anxiety Alone
When worry becomes overwhelming
Everyone feels anxious sometimes—before a big meeting, during a major decision, or in unfamiliar situations. But when that anxiety starts running the show—interfering with your sleep, hijacking your thoughts, or making everyday tasks feel unmanageable—it may be time to reach out for help.
At New Light Counseling, we support individuals navigating anxiety with warmth, curiosity, and evidence-based care. Whether your anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, muscle tension, panic attacks, or perfectionism, you're not alone—and it doesn't have to stay this way.
What Does Anxiety Look Like?
Anxiety can show up in many ways, including:
Constant worrying or racing thoughts
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Avoiding situations or people
Panic attacks or intense fear
Trouble focusing or feeling "on edge"
Physical symptoms like chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, or stomach issues
If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, therapy can help you find relief and reclaim a sense of calm and control.
You might not even call it anxiety—just “stress,” “overwhelm,” or “never being able to relax.” But deep down, it feels like your nervous system is always on alert.
Our therapists use personalized approaches based on your unique needs and history. Some of the methods we may use include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and learn tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Build skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance
Mindfulness-Based Approaches – Learn to stay grounded, present, and better manage anxious thoughts
Somatic Skills – Connect with your body to release tension and manage the physical symptoms of anxiety
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – Especially effective for OCD and phobia-related avoidance
Narrative Therapy – Explore how your life story influences your anxiety and identity
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – For anxiety linked to trauma or distressing experiences
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) – A body-based method to process and release anxiety
Coping Skills and Lifestyle Tools – Develop practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and build resilience
We won’t just give you surface-level tips. Our work together is about getting to the root of your anxiety, supporting you in healing, and helping you create a calmer, more balanced life that feels like your own.
