About the Program
Enhanced emotional resilience, reduced anxiety symptoms, acquisition of lifelong coping strategies, and improved overall well-being.
AWARENESS & ASSESSMENT
Begin by identifying key anxiety triggers and understanding how anxiety manifests in your thoughts, body, and behaviors. The therapist will guide you through self-reflection exercises, daily anxiety logs, and possibly standardized assessments like the GAD-7 to uncover patterns and triggers. This phase focuses on building awareness and setting specific, realistic goals for change.
COPING SKILLS & EMOTIONAL REGULATION
In this phase, you’ll learn and practice evidence-based coping strategies such as cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques. The therapist will help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and introduce techniques to manage emotional responses more effectively. Regular check-ins will reinforce the use of these tools in real-life situations.
INTEGRATION & MAINTENANCE
The final phase focuses on integrating new skills into daily life and preparing for future anxiety-inducing situations. You’ll develop a personalized anxiety management plan, including ongoing practices and strategies. Together with your therapist, you’ll troubleshoot remaining challenges and build confidence in sustaining progress independently.

Effective anxiety management improves overall well-being, enhances emotional resilience, and fosters healthier relationships. Techniques such as mindfulness, exercise, therapy, and social support can significantly reduce anxiety levels.

Not sure where to start?
Try a self-assessment.
Our self-assessment is based on the General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), a widely used and accepted tool for assessing individual experience of anxiety and its symptoms. Use of the assessment is anonymous. Our online assessment includes guidance regarding scoring as well as suggested follow-up based on the outcome of the assessment.
Always keep in mind that there are a variety of factors that can influence the reliability of the assessment, that your individual scores may vary over time, and, above all, that it is an assessment rather than a diagnostic tool. As such, this and similar self-guided assessments are not substitutes for professional guidance and should never be considered definitive.
