Therapy to Treat Anxiety & Other Stressors
Anxiety Therapy and Support for Children, Teens, Adults & Families
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes constant or overwhelming, it can take over the body and mind. It often begins as intense feelings or physical sensations that, when ignored, build into panic, overthinking, or a sense of losing control. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) can show up as persistent worry, tension, over-preparing, or avoidance, making everyday life feel exhausting.
Therapy helps you understand how anxiety works, recognize early emotional and physical signals, and learn how to calm your nervous system before anxiety takes over. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), supportive therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies, we help you change unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, and respond to stress with greater balance. Together, these tools build confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation, helping you feel grounded, steady, and in control at work, school, and in daily life.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are sudden, intense surges of fear or discomfort that can happen without warning, often with no clear trigger. During a panic attack, your body’s alarm system goes into overdrive, creating powerful physical and emotional symptoms that can feel frightening and out of control. Many people describe panic attacks as feeling like a heart attack, losing control, or even dying. While these episodes usually peak within minutes, the fear of the next one can linger long after the attack ends, keeping anxiety alive.
Common Panic Attack Symptoms
a. Rapid heartbeat or heart palpitations:
b. Shortness of breath or choking sensations
c. Chest pain, tightness, or pressure
d. Dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint.
e. Sweating, trembling, or shaking
f. Nausea or stomach discomfort
g. A sense of doom, detachment, or loss of control.
When panic attacks occur repeatedly or lead you to avoid certain places or situations, it may indicate Panic Disorder, a highly treatable anxiety condition. With the right support, you can learn to calm your nervous system, reduce fear, and regain confidence in your body.

What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is more than occasional worry. It is a persistent pattern of excessive anxiety that can affect relationships, sleep, concentration, physical health, and overall well-being.
People experiencing generalized anxiety symptoms often report feeling:
A. Constantly on edge or unable to relax
B. Restless, tense, or easily irritated
C. Mentally drained from nonstop worry
D. Overwhelmed by daily responsibilities
E. Unable to enjoy calm or present moments
With Generalized Anxiety Disorder, worry often moves from one topic to another, such as health, finances, safety, work, or relationships, and does not fully ease even when things are going well. This ongoing cycle of anxiety can feel exhausting, isolating, and hard to manage alone.

What Is Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts called obsessions and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals called compulsions. These behaviors are meant to reduce anxiety or prevent something feared from happening.
While compulsions may bring short-term relief, it quickly returns and often feel stronger than before. Over time, this cycle can leave adults feeling exhausted, stuck, overwhelmed, and trapped in their own thoughts. OCD can significantly affect daily life, including work performance, relationships, family responsibilities, and overall emotional well-being.
OCD is not about being overly neat, organized, or detail-oriented. At Katy Mosaic, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help adults interrupt obsessive thought patterns and regain a sense of calm, control, and confidence.
Common signs of OCD in adults include:
1. Intrusive thoughts about contamination, harm, safety, or morality
2. Repetitive behaviors such as excessive cleaning, checking, or ordering
3. Mental rituals like counting, repeating phrases, or silent reassurance
4. Avoiding situations, people, or places that trigger obsessive thoughts
5. Difficulty focusing at work or being fully present in relationships
6. Distress over thoughts that feel unwanted, upsetting, or out of alignment with your values
Even when you know these thoughts aren’t logical, OCD can still feel impossible to stop on your own. At Katy Mosaic, we help you notice and learn how to respond to intrusive thoughts differently, reduce compulsive behaviors, and rebuild trust in your mind and body.
