Anxiety Treatment

Man in therapy experiencing anxiety.

Anxiety Therapy

A busy mind and low energy can team up to make each day feel like a climb. Anxiety pushes you toward “what-ifs,” perfectionism, and avoidance; depression slows motivation and steals joy.

At Crossroads Counseling, our licensed clinicians help you understand the cycle, practice skills that work in real life, and get back to what matters. We offer in-person sessions in Lexington and secure telehealth anywhere in South Carolina. We are in-network with most health insurance plans and will verify your benefits up front.

Find peace in the storm.

Signs You May Need Help​ For Anxiety

  • Your worry begins to spiral out of control.
  • You experience panic attacks.
  • You repeatedly obsess over the same issues.
  • You feel flat, and your mood is off.
  • You can't seem to get a good night's sleep.
  • You have stomach issues, or your appetite has changed.
  • You don't want to be in social settings any longer.

How We Treat Anxiety

Your plan is practical and personalized. We commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to map patterns and build helpful habits, Behavioral Activation to restart momentum, and supported exposure—including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) when indicated—for anxiety or OCD features. Mindfulness and grounding steady the body; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you move toward values even before symptoms fade.

Further, we integrate Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and boundaries, plus a family/systems-informed lens when relationships are part of the picture. With your consent, we’ll coordinate with your prescriber if medication might help.

Anxiety Sessions At Crossroads

Most people start with weekly 50–60 minute sessions, tapering as skills stick. Session one sets clear goals and two small targets for the week. For anxiety, we’ll build a graded practice plan and reduce avoidance; for depression, we’ll stabilize sleep, movement, and connection while challenging harsh self-talk. As progress builds, we space sessions and add brief check-ins during stress points.
