Panic Attacks Can Be Debilitating
You may feel terrified when you leave the house, worrying about when a panic attack will be next. It may even stop you from leaving the house at all. Some people begin withdrawing from everyday activities to avoid triggering symptoms, which can significantly limit their lives.
Panic attacks often appear suddenly, even when everything seems fine,and bring intense physical sensations such as a racing heart, chest tightness, dizziness, shortness of breath, shaking, sweating, or a feeling of “going crazy.” Many people even end up in the ER because they think they are having a heart attack. The fear of panic can feel just as overwhelming as the panic itself. Over time, you may feel frustrated, ashamed, or exhausted by trying to manage symptoms you don’t fully understand.
But here’s the good news: panic attacks are treatable, and you can learn how to regain control, reduce symptoms, and feel safe in your body again.

Everyone Has Panicked at Some Point
Panic disorder affects millions of people each year. In the United States, approximately 2.7% of adults experience panic disorder annually. An estimated 4.7% of U.S. adults will experience panic disorder at some point in their lives.
So many clients have said that they feel like they are going crazy, but I am here to tell you that you are not. What you are experiencing is real and it is also highly treatable!
Multiple Factors Contribute to Panic Attacks
People suffer from panic disorder for a variety of reasons. Some have a family history of panic disorder which increases the risk. Sometimes having other mental health disorders can contribute to this. Traumatic events can also cause someone to have a panic attack.
The most important part of all of this is that panic disorder is very treatable. A supportive anxiety therapist can help you learn how to manage panic attack to live a life that you are no longer fearful of.
How Panic Disorder Therapy at Anew Counseling Services Can Help
You may have become so scared of having another panic attack that you do not even want to go to therapy because you feel it may happen again. But being in therapy is probably one of the safest places to be if a panic attack should arise.
What You Can Expect in Sessions
To start, we will do an intake and go over your entire history. Then we will focus on the panic including how symptoms began, what triggers you, and how it affects your daily life.
Next, we’ll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that will help you respond differently to panic and anxiety. This may include:
Learning how to interrupt early signs of panic
Practicing calming strategies that re-train your breathing and nervous system
Engaging in supportive, gradual exposure practices to reduce fear of bodily sensations
- Slowly increasing activities in life with the tools you need to combat a panic attack if it happens
Over time, my goal is for you to feel calmer in situations that used to feel threatening, and the fear of panic decreases significantly.
Panic Disorder Can Be Overcome: Proven Strategies for Real Change
Mindfulness Based Techniques
Mindfulness techniques teach individuals to gently shift their attention toward the present moment.
Through practices such as deep breathing, grounding exercises, and guided awareness, mindfulness activates the body’s natural calming response. For many people, mindfulness becomes a practical, everyday tool.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and beliefs and replace them with more balanced, realistic ways of thinking. You also learn behavior strategies that reinforce healthier patterns.
CBT strengthens your ability to understand and change the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you change your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to get rid of them. Instead of getting stuck in struggle, you learn how to make space for what shows up internally.
It also focuses on helping you stay present and take meaningful steps toward what matters most to you, so you can build a fuller, more flexible life—even when anxiety or discomfort is still there.
All of these modalities are known to help people who suffer from panic disorder. In therapy, I blend all of three of these together throughout your journey to help you overcome your symptoms of panic disorder and help you to live a calmer life with more clarity.
