Seeking Help for Anxiety

Anxiety can be exhausting. It can live in your body, dominate your thoughts, disrupt sleep, strain relationships, and make even simple decisions feel overwhelming. At Highway to Heal Counseling, we provide anxiety therapy & counseling in Colleyville, Texas, serving adults across Grapevine, Southlake, Hurst, Euless, Fort Worth, Bedford, and the greater Mid-Cities area, as well as via online therapy throughout Texas. Our approach to anxiety treatment is grounded, practical, and personalized. Therapy isn’t about eliminating anxiety completely,but about understanding it, reducing its intensity, and helping you feel more in control of your life again.

What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. You may be experiencing anxiety if you notice:

• Constant worry or racing thoughts

• Feeling on edge, restless, or irritable

• Panic attacks or sudden surges of fear

• Difficulty sleeping or shutting your mind off

• Tightness in the chest, stomach issues, headaches, or muscle tension

• Avoidance of situations, conversations, or responsibilities

• Overthinking, people-pleasing, or fear of making mistakes

Many clients tell us they feel "stuck in their head" or exhausted from trying to manage anxiety on their own. Therapy offers a place to slow things down and build sustainable tools for relief.

Types of Anxiety We Treat

At Highway to Heal Counseling, we work with adults experiencing many forms of anxiety, including:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

• Panic disorder and panic attacks

• Social anxiety

• Performance and work-related anxiety

• Trauma-related anxiety

• Health anxiety

• Anxiety connected to burnout or life transitions

You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from anxiety therapy. If anxiety is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or sense of peace, therapy can help.

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for anxiety. We tailor treatment based on your nervous system, history, and goals. Anxiety is often a protective response and therapy focuses on helping your body and mind feel safer. Listed below are some of the unique ways anxiety can be approached in counseling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and teaches practical strategies to respond differently. This approach is especially effective for excessive worry, panic symptoms, and avoidance behaviors.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

For many people, anxiety is connected to past experiences or chronic stress. Trauma-informed care focuses on safety, regulation, and understanding how the nervous system responds to perceived threats.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help reduce anxiety linked to specific memories, past events, or ongoing triggers. EMDR allows the brain to reprocess experiences so they feel less overwhelming in the present. This type of therapy is not appropriate for everyone and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis that involves preperation stages before beginning.

Nervous System Regulation & Mindfulness

We incorporate grounding, breathwork, and regulation techniques to help your body move out of constant fight-or-flight. These tools are practical, portable, and meant to support you outside of sessions. Once the triggers are identified, counselors can help individuals develop appropriate coping mechanisms, such as:

• Deep breathing techniques

• Progressive muscle relaxation

• Mindfulness exercises

• Rational thinking and challenging negative thoughts

Holistic Healing

Many times in therapy it is important to look at the entire body & mind connection to ensure wellness is considered beyond just mental and emotional well-being. A comprehensive assessment of physical wellness strategies will often be assessed to ensure anxiety is treated effectively. This may include, but not limited to, assessing dietary needs, amount of daily & weekly exercise, sleep hygiene and routines, and recommendations as well as collaborating with other healthcare professionals.

Strength-Based & Collaborative Care

Therapy is collaborative. We focus on what already works for you while building new coping strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. It’s important to remember that everyone’s anxiety and root causes are unique as well as not one tool works for everyone similarly.

What Anxiety Therapy Can Help You With

• Reduced intensity and frequency of anxious thoughts

• Greater emotional regulation

• Improved sleep and concentration

• Increased confidence and decision-making ability

• Healthier boundaries and relationships

• A stronger sense of control and calm

Progress doesn’t mean anxiety disappears forever, but that it no longer runs your life. Overcoming anxiety is a process that takes time, effort, and patience. It is crucial to remain persistent and dedicated to combating anxiety. Through patience, perseverance, and professional support, individuals can successfully manage their anxiety and lead healthier, happier lives.
