Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially when you're already managing anxiety. Here are a few key things to consider:

​Qualifications and Credentials Make sure your therapist is licensed and professionally trained. This ensures they’ve received proper education and follow ethical standards, including confidentiality.

​

Treatment Approach Ask about the therapist’s methods. Do they use evidence-based approaches like CBT? Understanding their style can help you feel more confident about the process.

​

Personal Connection The connection you feel with your therapist matters. A sense of trust, understanding, and emotional safety is key. Every therapist has a unique style—some may use humor, others are more structured or direct. Trust how you feel in the room (or on the screen).

​

Accessibility Consider what works for you: in-person or telehealth? Also look at availability, location, and scheduling flexibility.

​

Start with a Free Consultation Many therapists offer free assessments. Use this time to ask questions, share your concerns, and get a feel for whether it’s a good fit. Preparing a short list of what you’re looking for can help guide the conversation.

Finding the right therapist is a personal process—but one worth investing in. Trust your instincts, and prioritize what feels right for you.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The frequency of therapy depends on your needs, the severity of symptoms, your goals, and your therapist’s recommendations.

​Here are some common approaches:

Weekly Sessions Most clients begin with weekly therapy. This helps build momentum, develop coping strategies, and create a strong therapeutic relationship.

​

Biweekly or Monthly Sessions As symptoms improve, sessions often shift to biweekly or monthly. This allows you to maintain progress while integrating what you’ve learned.

​

Short-Term or Intensive Therapy Some individuals benefit from short-term, high-frequency therapy—such as multiple sessions per week for a limited time. This can be helpful during a crisis or when working through specific challenges quickly.

​

As-Needed Support

For those with milder symptoms, flexible scheduling may be best. You can check in as concerns arise or to stay grounded during stressful periods.

Ultimately, your therapy schedule should reflect your goals, preferences, and what feels sustainable. At Authentic-Life Counseling, we’ll work with you to find the rhythm that best supports your growth and well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and effective approach to treating anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.

​CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—and how each one influences the others. By learning to recognize and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns, you can begin to respond in more balanced, supportive ways.

​This approach is structured, practical, and goal-oriented. It focuses on teaching you real-world tools to manage symptoms and create meaningful change. Therapy is collaborative—your therapist works alongside you to set goals, build skills, and track progress over time.

Yes. Most clients prefer in-person sessions, and we welcome individuals from Suwanee, Buford, Duluth, Sugar Hill, and Lawrenceville at our office.

For those who need more flexibility, we also provide secure telehealth sessions to clients anywhere in Georgia.

Whether you meet in person or online, you’ll receive the same level of care and support. For added convenience, limited weekend appointments are also available.

Anxiety counseling can be helpful if you experience constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, physical tension, or difficulty relaxing. It also supports people who feel overwhelmed by work, school, or home responsibilities, or who avoid situations that trigger fear or stress.

With consistent support, many clients notice benefits such as:

• Improved mood and emotional balance

• Better sleep and energy levels

• Stronger communication and relationships

• Greater self-confidence and resilience

• The ability to enjoy life without constant worry

You don’t have to live in survival mode. Counseling can help you reclaim your sense of calm and feel more in control of your life again.
