Anxiety Tips from Cassie Smeltzer LCSW

1

Individual or group therapy

Anxiety and depression is treated by a licensed mental health professional through individual sessions and group therapy sessions. Both types of therapy are beneficial, and sometimes, a therapist recommends that a client attends each type of session to further treatment goals more effectively.

2

Breathing exercises

You can find many relaxation techniques online or your therapist can recommend others. We feature Progressive Relaxation Muscle Technique on our website and highly recommend that our clients try this out.

3

Regular exercise

Exercising routinely has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression according to national studies. Getting out and moving raises endorphin levels in the body, which give sensations of joy and happiness.
