Evidence-Based Anxiety Therapy in Pittsburgh

​

If you’re searching for anxiety therapy in Pittsburgh, you may feel exhausted from constant worry, panic attacks, overthinking, or tension that won’t shut off. Anxiety can quietly take over your work, relationships, sleep, and confidence.

 

At Lindquist Psychological, we provide specialized, evidence-based anxiety treatment in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania via secure online therapy. Our approach is practical, research-supported, and tailored to high-functioning adults, professionals, and adolescents who want lasting change.

 

 

What Anxiety Often Looks Like

​

Anxiety doesn’t always look dramatic. Many of our Pittsburgh clients describe:

 

• Persistent, hard-to-control worry

• Overanalyzing conversations or decisions

• Panic attacks or sudden physical fear

• Muscle tension, racing heart, or restlessness

• Trouble sleeping

• Avoiding situations that trigger discomfort

• Feeling “on edge” even when life looks successful from the outside

 

 

Some anxiety is normal and even helpful. It can increase focus and motivation. But when anxiety begins interfering with work, school, parenting, or relationships, therapy can help you regain balance.

Types of Anxiety We Treat in Pittsburgh

 

 

We provide therapy for:

​

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD):​

Chronic worry about work, health, family, or everyday responsibilities.​

​

Panic Disorder & Panic Attacks:​

Sudden waves of intense fear, physical symptoms, and fear of future attacks.

 

Social Anxiety:

Fear of judgment, performance anxiety, or avoidance of social situations.​

 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD):

Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety.​

Intense fear of particular objects or situations.​

 

Agoraphobia:

Fear of being in places where escape feels difficult.

​

We also treat anxiety related to trauma, health concerns, major life transitions, and high-pressure professional roles.

 

Many individuals experience overlapping symptoms. We take an individualized approach rather than forcing your experience into a single category.

Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatment in Pittsburgh

 

 

Our anxiety therapy is grounded in approaches supported by decades of research:

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

​

CBT helps you identify and restructure unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety. It provides practical tools you can use immediately in daily life.

​

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

​

ERP is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD, panic disorder, and certain phobias. It helps retrain your nervous system through structured, guided exposure.

 

Mindfulness-Based Approaches

​

These strategies reduce reactivity to anxious thoughts and increase emotional flexibility.

​

DBT Skills for Anxiety

​

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills strengthen distress tolerance and emotional regulation, especially when anxiety feels overwhelming.

 

Our goal is not simply symptom reduction — it is helping you build long-term resilience.
