Anxiety Therapy In New Jersey

Evidence-Based Therapy to Overcome Anxiety and Fear

Helping You Find Calm, Confidence, and Control

Anxiety can show up in many ways — a constant sense of worry, racing thoughts at night, physical tension, or a fear that something bad is about to happen. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of life, persistent or overwhelming anxiety can take a toll on your mental, emotional, and even physical health.

At JLE Psychological Services, Dr. Jessica Elliott provides anxiety therapy in New Jersey to help clients understand their triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and regain a sense of control. Whether you’re facing generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific phobias, therapy can help you break free from the cycle of fear and worry.

What is Anxiety Therapy?

Anxiety therapy is a collaborative, supportive process that helps you identify the root causes of your anxiety and develop practical strategies to manage it. Dr. Elliott creates a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can talk openly about your experiences and work toward lasting change.

Therapy may focus on:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – constant, excessive worry about daily life

  • Social Anxiety Disorder – intense fear of judgment or embarrassment

  • Panic Disorder – sudden, intense anxiety with physical symptoms

  • Specific Phobias – overwhelming fear of certain situations or objects

  • Health Anxiety – preoccupation with illness or medical concerns

  • Performance Anxiety – anxiety related to work, academics, or sports

How Anxiety Can Affect Your Life

Chronic anxiety doesn’t just impact your mood — it can affect your work, school, relationships, and overall well-being. You might notice:

  • Racing thoughts or difficulty concentrating

  • Physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, sweating, or muscle tension

  • Restlessness or irritability

  • Trouble sleeping or staying asleep

  • Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety

  • A sense of dread or fear that’s hard to explain

Over time, untreated anxiety can lead to increased stress, decreased quality of life, and even physical health issues.

Dr. Elliott’s Approach to Anxiety Therapy

Dr. Elliott uses evidence-based treatments tailored to each client’s needs, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and reframe anxious thoughts

  • Mindfulness techniques to help you stay grounded in the present moment

  • Exposure therapy (when appropriate) to gradually reduce avoidance and fear

  • Relaxation training to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety

  • Psychodynamic therapy to address deeper emotional patterns

Her approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing not only on symptom relief but also on building long-term resilience.
