Frequently Asked Questions
What do therapists do for anxiety?
Therapists typically use behavioral therapy, a type of psychotherapy, to help patients manage and treat anxiety. That’s just a fancy way of saying their goal is ultimately to help you change your behaviors and treat anxiety at the source. Different therapists will have different therapeutic approaches for anxiety, but some common ones are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), exposure therapy, or Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). A behavioral therapist will also help you develop strategies and skills that you can apply throughout your day-to-day life. They will also be there to provide ongoing support when questions or issues arise.
How long does therapy take for anxiety?
Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, so your time in care will vary. For some individuals, a few sessions may be enough to manage their anxiety effectively. Others may benefit from ongoing therapy for a longer period. Your length of care is generally determined by the goals you set and the treatment plan written by your therapist. The treatment plan is just that, a plan. It helps guide the course of your treatment, but it may need to be adjusted. Different types of therapeutic approaches have different durations as well. Your progress in therapy and the time it takes to achieve your goals will also be determined by the consistency and frequency of sessions. A 2019 BMC Psychiatry study finds that going to therapy more often at the start of treatment leads to improved outcomes, and similar studies find that weekly sessions are linked to a higher likelihood of achieving therapy goals. SonderMind offers a convenient way to track your progress with Clinical Questionnaires (CQs), a data-driven tool designed to determine if the current approach is working for you.
What should I expect at my first therapy appointment?
The first therapy appointment is typically longer than follow-up appointments so your therapist can get to know more about you. You’ll cover things like your background and reasons for coming in, as well as what to expect and how your therapist will conduct sessions. We've put together a handy Q&A for your reference when preparing for your first therapy session.
What insurance networks are accepted for therapy?
How much will an appointment cost for talk therapy?
Your out-of-pocket costs for care can vary greatly depending on your individual insurance plan, applicable copays, and deductibles. We recommend calling your health plan directly to determine what your out-of-pocket costs will be for mental health care. If you aren't using insurance, learn more about self-pay rates here.
