What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous, it’s a mental health condition that can interfere with work, relationships, and daily life. It can manifest in ways that may feel overwhelming or confusing, such as:

  • Racing thoughts or overthinking

  • Panic attacks or difficulty breathing

  • Social withdrawal or fear of judgment

  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating

  • Constant restlessness or irritability

If this sounds familiar, we’re here to help you understand and manage these symptoms with empathy and evidence-based care.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

At OATH Therapy, we treat a wide range of anxiety-related conditions, including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
     Ongoing, excessive worry that feels hard to control, even without a clear cause.

  • Panic Disorder
     Recurrent panic attacks that cause physical distress like heart palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder
     Deep fear of social situations or judgment, often leading to avoidance of work or school environments.

  • Health Anxiety (Hypochondria)
     Persistent fear of serious illness, despite normal test results or doctor reassurance.

  • Performance Anxiety
     Fear related to public speaking, test-taking, or work performance.

  • Intrusive Thoughts / Obsessive Thinking
     Repetitive thoughts or fears that feel distressing or uncontrollable, often linked to OCD.

How We Treat Anxiety

Our approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in research. We tailor every treatment plan to your goals, symptoms, and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches new coping strategies to reframe anxiety-inducing situations.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Ideal for individuals dealing with avoidance behaviors, phobias, or OCD-related anxiety. You’ll learn to face fears gradually in a supportive environment.

Mindfulness-Based Techniques

Support long-term anxiety relief through stress reduction, breathwork, and present-moment awareness.
