Who Anxiety Therapy Is For

Anxiety therapy may be a good fit if you are:

  • Experiencing racing thoughts, worry loops, or constant “future planning”

  • Feeling on edge, irritable, or emotionally exhausted

  • Struggling to sleep, relax, or feel present

  • Avoiding situations because they trigger anxiety or panic

  • Noticing anxiety showing up physically (tight chest, tension, stomach issues, restlessness)

  • Looking for an anxiety therapist online or in-person support in Illinois

You don’t need to “wait until it gets worse” to start therapy. Many adults begin anxiety treatment because they’re tired of anxiety running the show.

Common Reasons Adults Seek Anxiety Treatment

Adults often start therapy for anxiety when they notice:

  • Overthinking that feels impossible to turn off

  • Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, expectations, or uncertainty

  • Burnout and nervous system fatigue from years of pushing through

  • Panic-like symptoms or sudden spikes of fear

  • Difficulty setting boundaries or saying no without guilt

  • A constant sense of pressure, dread, or worst-case scenario thinking

Therapy offers a place to slow down, understand what your anxiety is doing, and build tools that actually help in real life.

What Anxiety Therapy Looks Like at Sohail Counseling

Anxiety therapy here is practical, relational, and supportive; not just talking in circles.

Our work together focuses on helping you understand your anxiety patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and build skills to respond differently when anxiety shows up. We’ll also make space for the deeper layers underneath anxiety when that feels relevant- identity stress, past experiences, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and more.

You can expect:

  • A warm, non-judgmental environment

  • Therapy that moves at your pace

  • Practical tools you can use between sessions

  • Support identifying triggers, patterns, and nervous system responses

  • A therapist who listens deeply and helps you feel more steady over time

Our Therapeutic Approach

Our therapists use evidence-informed approaches tailored to your needs, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Trauma-informed and relational therapy

  • Mindfulness-based strategies

    These approaches help reduce anxiety symptoms while also building long-term resilience, self-trust, and emotional flexibility.
