About First Session
What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived threats, but for many people it becomes persistent and interferes with daily life. It can show up as excessive worry, physical tension, racing thoughts, or avoidance of certain situations. While everyone experiences some anxiety, ongoing or intense symptoms may benefit from professional support.

How can therapy help with anxiety?

Therapy can help you identify the thoughts and patterns that fuel your anxiety. Many therapists use approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Over time, therapy may help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed by anxious feelings. Learn more about how to tell if therapy is working.

What should I expect when working on anxiety in therapy?

Your therapist will typically start by understanding your specific experiences with anxiety—when it started, what triggers it, and how it affects your life. From there, you may work on identifying patterns, learning relaxation techniques, and gradually facing situations you tend to avoid. The pace is collaborative, and your therapist will adjust the approach based on what works for you.

How do I find a therapist for anxiety?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with anxiety. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their personality and style before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding, and you can book your first session directly online. Book a free consultation to see if a therapist is the right fit.

Is therapy right for my anxiety?

Therapy can be helpful for a wide range of anxiety experiences, from occasional stress to more persistent patterns. If anxiety is affecting your work, relationships, or overall well-being, speaking with a professional may provide clarity and support. There's no threshold you need to meet—if you're curious about therapy, that's enough reason to explore it.

How do I get started?

Browse therapists on First Session who specialize in anxiety. Watch their intro videos to find someone who feels like a good fit. When you're ready, book your first session directly through the platform. Many therapists offer both online and in-person options, so you can choose what works best for you. Start your search here.
