Another treatment available for anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions, is psychotherapy. This will involve the psychotherapist holding counseling sessions with the patient. There are different types of psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most commonly used when it comes to anxiety disorders.
