How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, I focus on helping them understand their triggers and patterns. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge the anxious thoughts that may be fueling their worries. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques to help clients stay grounded and present in the moment. Together, we work on practical coping strategies, like breathing exercises or relaxation techniques, that they can use when anxiety hits. My goal is to help them feel more in control of their anxiety and equipped to handle situations that feel overwhelming.
