Panic disorder affects about 2–3% of adults in the U.S. every year—millions of people who, just like you, experience unexpected panic attacks and the fear of them returning. It’s most common in late adolescence and early adulthood, and women are twice as likely to be affected as men.
How We Treat Panic Disorder
At Careful Counseling, we use evidence-based approaches to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind—while giving you tools to reclaim your life. Treatment is highly effective, and relief is possible.
Our Approach Includes:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Learn to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that fuel panic.
Interoceptive Exposure: Practice tolerating the physical sensations of anxiety in a safe and controlled environment—so they no longer feel dangerous.
Psychoeducation: Understand the fight-or-flight system and why panic attacks occur (spoiler: your body is trying to protect you).
Breathing and Grounding Techniques: Regulate your nervous system during moments of distress.
Gradual Exposure Work: Reclaim avoided situations, from driving to flying to going out alone.
