If you’ve recognized anxiety symptoms in yourself, the good news is that anxiety disorders are among the most treatable mental health conditions. At our Bangalore practice, we offer comprehensive, evidence-based anxiety treatment tailored to your unique needs. Here’s exactly how we can help you overcome anxiety and reclaim your quality of life.
Our Evidence-Based Treatment Approach
We combine the latest research with personalized care to ensure the best outcomes for every client. Our treatment is rooted in scientifically validated methods proven to work for anxiety disorders.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Our Primary Approach
CBT is recognized as the gold standard for treating anxiety disorders, and it’s the foundation of our treatment programs. Research shows CBT can be effective in as few as 8 sessions, though we typically see significant improvements within 12-16 sessions.
Through CBT, we help you:
- Identify and challenge negative thought patterns
- Change behaviors that maintain anxiety
- Develop practical coping strategies
- Learn relaxation techniques
Our CBT Techniques Include:
Cognitive Restructuring: Together, we identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns. You’ll learn to recognize distorted thoughts like catastrophizing or overgeneralizing and replace them with more balanced perspectives.
Exposure Therapy: We guide you through gradual, controlled exposure to anxiety-triggering situations in a safe, supportive environment. This proven technique helps reduce fear responses over time.
Behavioral Activation: We help you increase engagement in positive activities that improve mood and reduce avoidance patterns.
Relaxation Training: You’ll learn progressive muscle relaxation and breathing exercises to use anytime, anywhere.
Additional Therapeutic Approaches We Offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): We help you accept anxious thoughts rather than fighting them, reducing their power over you while committing to actions aligned with your values.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: We teach present-moment awareness techniques customized based on your specific anxiety type. These practices help reduce rumination and build emotional regulation.
Interpersonal Therapy: We address relationship issues contributing to your anxiety, improving communication and connection with others.
Trauma-Focused Therapy: For anxiety rooted in past traumatic experiences, we provide specialized trauma processing techniques in a safe, supportive environment.
Medication Management (When Needed)
While we prioritize therapy, we collaborate with experienced psychiatrists when medication is appropriate. Antidepressants, particularly SSRIs, are the medications of choice for anxiety disorders.
We coordinate care with psychiatric professionals who may prescribe:
SSRIs and SNRIs:
- Escitalopram (Lexapro)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
- Venlafaxine (Effexor)
Short-term Options:
- Benzodiazepines (when medically appropriate)
- Buspirone (non-addictive anxiolytic)
- Beta-blockers (for performance anxiety)
Research shows combination therapy is particularly effective for panic disorder and GAD. Your treatment plan is always personalized based on your symptoms, preferences, and response to treatment.
Self-Help Strategies We Teach
Professional treatment is crucial, but we also empower you with practical strategies to use between sessions and maintain long-term wellness.
Immediate Relief Techniques
Breathing Exercises – The 4-7-8 Technique:
- Breathe in through your nose for 4 counts
- Hold your breath for 7 counts
- Exhale through your mouth for 8 counts
- Repeat 3-4 times
Grounding Techniques – The 5-4-3-2-1 Method:
- 5 things you can see

Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Systematically tense and release muscle groups, a technique you can use anywhere, anytime.
Lifestyle Modifications We Support
Exercise Integration: We help you develop a realistic exercise plan. Even 15-20 minute daily walks provide benefits by releasing endorphins, improving sleep, and reducing muscle tension.
Sleep Hygiene Coaching: Quality sleep is essential for anxiety management. We help you establish consistent sleep-wake times, create an optimal bedroom environment, and develop a relaxing bedtime routine.
Nutrition Guidance: We provide education on how diet impacts anxiety—eating regular balanced meals, limiting caffeine and alcohol, including omega-3 fatty acids, and staying hydrated.
Mental and Emotional Strategies
Journaling Exercises: Structured journaling helps you identify triggers and patterns, process feelings, and track what works.
Worry Time Scheduling: We teach you to schedule 10-15 minutes daily for designated worry time, postponing anxious thoughts that arise at other times.
Thought-Challenging Skills: We train you to question anxious thinking with evidence-based questions.
Social Connection Building: Despite social anxiety, quality relationships reduce stress. We help you strengthen connections and build a support network.
