Professional Anxiety Therapy to Regain Calm and Confidence
Anxiety affects millions of people each year, and it can appear in many forms, from persistent worry and panic to social fear, phobias, or trauma-related symptoms. Even small daily tasks can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to focus at work, sleep well, or maintain relationships. In New York’s fast-paced environment, the pressures of career, commuting, and personal obligations can intensify these feelings.
At Happy Apple, we offer structured, evidence-based anxiety therapy in New York to help you manage symptoms, identify triggers, and regain control. Our experienced therapists provide both in-person sessions at Columbus Circle and virtual sessions throughout New York, Delaware, Florida, California, and New Jersey delivering a flexible, professional, and supportive approach tailored to each client.

Panic attacks or sudden episodes of intense anxiety

Sleep difficulties or chronic fatigue

What Is Anxiety Therapy?
Anxiety is more than temporary nervousness or stress. It can interfere with everyday life, causing symptoms such as:
Persistent fear, worry, or unease
Sleep disturbances, fatigue, or concentration problems
Physical symptoms including headaches, muscle tension, or rapid heartbeat
Avoidance of social situations or responsibilities
Low self-esteem, irritability, or emotional reactivity
Exhaustion
Common types of anxiety disorders include:
Specific Phobias: Intense fear of certain objects or situations, often originating in childhood.
Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear or discomfort in social interactions or public situations.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Chronic worry about daily life, health, or responsibilities, accompanied by tension and difficulty relaxing.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Lingering distress after a traumatic experience, including flashbacks, nightmares, or hypervigilance.
Happy Apple’s Approach, ANXIETY Therapy.
Our approach blends evidence-based methods in a way that feels structured and grounded, yet warm and deeply human. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, we look at the underlying patterns that fuel anxiety, whether they stem from past experiences, current stressors, or long-standing internal beliefs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, calm mental spirals, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress.
Mindfulness and body-based strategies to regulate the nervous system, reduce physical tension, and bring clients back into the present moment during spikes of anxiety.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for clients dealing with avoidance, phobias, or obsessive thoughts, helping them build confidence by gradually facing feared situations in a safe environment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to reduce the internal battle with anxious thoughts, increase emotional flexibility, and create space for values-driven action.
