About Anxiety Therapy
It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially when you’re starting a new job, in a new relationship, moving, or studying for a big test. In fact, anxiety can even be protective. It warns you that something threatening might be ahead and prepares you to respond in a way that keeps you safe.
However, anxiety becomes a concern when it makes you fear things that aren’t truly harmful—it grows disproportionate and interferes with your daily routine. When it starts to look less like simple worry and more like a constant presence that takes over your thoughts, your energy, and your life.

Our Approach to Anxiety Therapy in Denver and Broomfield, CO
Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is also highly treatable. At WellMinded Counseling, our Broomfield and Denver-based anxiety therapists will encourage you to practice self-care, strengthen your support system, and, if needed, seek additional care from a medical provider. We specialize in a wide variety of therapeutic interventions, including:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. By challenging harmful thought patterns and reshaping them into healthier ones, you’ll learn to develop more positive and effective responses to anxiety.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT therapy focuses on four key areas: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. In essence, these skills help you stay present, communicate assertively, cope with difficult situations, and develop healthier responses to emotions.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation—such as side-to-side eye movements—to reprocess distressing beliefs or memories. This process helps you overcome negative thoughts while reducing anxiety symptoms and emotional distress.
Exposure Therapy
This approach helps you gradually confront your fears in a safe environment with the support of your anxiety therapist. By breaking the avoidance cycle, you can reduce anxiety around feared situations and lessen negative reactions to them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Although the most suitable treatment depends on your specific needs and circumstances, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is widely regarded as the most effective approach.
CBT has the strongest evidence base, with numerous studies demonstrating its effectiveness across all anxiety disorders. If your symptoms involve avoiding feared situations, exposure strategies are often incorporated as part of the treatment.
There are several types of anxiety disorders:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Ongoing, excessive worry about everyday situations.
- Panic Disorder: Persistent panic attacks, often accompanied by the fear of having a heart attack or another serious medical condition.
- Specific Phobias: Intense and disproportionate fear of a particular situation, activity, or object.
- Agoraphobia: Fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or where help may not be available.
- Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of being humiliated, rejected, embarrassed, or negatively judged in social situations.
- Separation Anxiety Disorder: Excessive fear or distress related to being separated from significant attachment figures.
- Selective Mutism: More common in children, it occurs when they don’t speak in certain social settings despite speaking comfortably in others.
Absolutely. Coping with anxiety can be incredibly challenging, but with the right treatment, it’s possible to live a full and normal life.
With proper support, you can learn and practice key strategies to manage anxiety—for example, techniques such as normalizing your experience, developing skills to reduce stress and reframe negative thinking, and maintaining consistent self-care.
Not necessarily. However, anxiety disorders can change throughout life, partly because aging affects certain areas of the brain and nervous system. In addition, as people age, they may encounter more stressful experiences, which can contribute to anxiety.
Interestingly, the types of anxiety disorders can vary with age. For example, phobias commonly appear in childhood. Panic disorder and social anxiety can also emerge during childhood, but they may additionally develop in early adulthood. In contrast, generalized anxiety disorder tends to be more common in older adults as opposed to other anxiety disorders.
