Frequently asked questions
How is anxiety treated in psychology?
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is the most widely used and evidence-based approach. In sessions, we identify the thought and behaviour patterns maintaining anxiety, and develop progressive regulation strategies. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented.
How long does anxiety treatment take?
It depends on severity and type. Mild to moderate anxiety disorders often respond in 8 to 16 sessions. More complex cases may require longer support. The psychologist will provide an estimate at the first appointment.
What is the difference between normal anxiety and an anxiety disorder?
Anxiety is a normal adaptive response to danger. It becomes a disorder when it is disproportionate, persistent (over 6 months) and interferes with daily functioning — work, relationships, sleep. A psychological assessment makes the distinction.
Is there a cure for anxiety?
Psychotherapy doesn't aim to eliminate anxiety entirely — it is part of life. The goal is to reduce intensity, frequency and impact, and develop tools to manage difficult situations. Most people experience significant improvement with proper support.
Can anxiety be treated online?
Yes. All Psibilitar psychologists offer online sessions via video call, with the same quality as in-person. Useful for busy schedules or those who prefer the comfort of home.
