Anxiety is a normal part of life, especially during stressful or uncertain situations. It usually comes and goes and doesn’t significantly interfere with daily functioning.
Clinical anxiety tends to be more intense, persistent, and harder to manage. It can show up as constant worry, physical tension, avoidance, or difficulty concentrating, even when there’s no immediate threat. When anxiety starts to interfere with daily life, relationships, or your ability to feel at ease, therapy can be helpful.
At Seacoast Therapy, we offer evidence-based therapy approaches that help people better understand their anxiety, reduce its impact, and feel more grounded in their day-to-day lives. Treatment is always collaborative and tailored to your needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety going. Through CBT, clients learn practical tools to respond differently to anxious thoughts, build coping skills, and regain a sense of control.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is often used for OCD and anxiety that shows up as avoidance, reassurance-seeking, or compulsive behaviors. ERP gently helps people face fears while learning that anxiety can rise and fall without needing to be “fixed” or avoided.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports people whose anxiety is connected to past experiences that still feel overwhelming or unresolved. EMDR helps the brain process these experiences so they feel less intense and have less influence on the present.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy helps clients understand the different parts of themselves that show up around anxiety—such as parts that worry, overthink, or try to stay in control. IFS focuses on building compassion, self-trust, and emotional balance rather than fighting symptoms.
In addition to these approaches, our clinicians are trained in a range of other therapeutic modalities and will work with you to determine what best fits your needs, goals, and comfort level. Together, these approaches help reduce anxiety, increase resilience, and support long-term change in a way that feels steady, respectful, and supportive.
