Anxiety Therapy Calgary
Find relief and regain control with anxiety therapy at Clear Minds Psychology
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety often involves excessive worry, fear, and physical symptoms. It can appear suddenly or build up over time. While occasional anxiety is normal, ongoing symptoms may signal an anxiety disorder.
Common Signs & Symptoms of Anxiety Include:
- Racing heart or shortness of breath
- Restlessness or feeling “on edge”
- Trouble sleeping
- Difficulty concentrating
- Avoiding situations due to fear
- Intrusive or repetitive thoughts
Anxiety is a natural human response, but when it becomes intense or persistent, it can interfere with daily life. Anxiety therapy can help you understand your triggers, build coping skills to manage overwhelming thoughts, physical symptoms, and constant worry, and feel more in control of your life.
Types of Anxiety Conditions
Therapy for anxiety in Calgary can help with many challenges, such as:
- Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
- Panic disorder and panic attacks
- Social anxiety disorder
- Health anxiety
- Phobias

- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

How Anxiety Therapy Works
I use research-backed approaches such as:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – Identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Build psychological flexibility, reduce avoidance, and do what matters
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – Face fears in a safe, gradual way
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – Reprocess distressing memories quickly and effectively
- EMDR Therapy (EMDR) – Reduce anxiety linked to trauma and negative beliefs
These methods help you understand your anxiety, change unhelpful patterns, and build confidence in managing daily stress.
What to Expect in Anxiety Therapy Sessions
In your first session, we will discuss your history, symptoms, and therapy goals. Together, we will then create a plan tailored to your needs and pace.
You will learn:
- How anxiety works in the brain and body
- Skills to calm physical symptoms
- Strategies to stop overthinking
- Ways to face fears without avoidance
- How to shift your focus to the present moment
Between sessions, you will receive practical exercises to help strengthen these skills in real-life situations.
