Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat
At Edmonton Counselling Services, Types of Anxiety We Treat: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, Workplace Anxiety, Driving Anxiety, Test Anxiety, Performance Anxiety, Separation Anxiety, and Anxiety Following Trauma.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Characterized by persistent and uncontrollable worry about everyday life, GAD can cause fatigue, restlessness, and constant tension. Our counsellors use CBT and coping mechanisms to help you manage these thoughts and reduce their impact on your well-being.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety often involves intense fear of judgment or embarrassment in social settings. Our sessions focus on helping you develop coping skills, rebuild confidence, and practice gradual exposure in a safe and supportive environment.
Panic Disorder
If you experience sudden panic attacks — racing heart, sweating, dizziness, or difficulty breathing — counselling can help you understand triggers, reduce fear of recurrence, and calm your body’s fight or flight response.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Some anxiety develops after trauma. Through anxiety therapy and trauma-informed care, including cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness, we help you process painful memories and find safety and stability again.
Related Conditions
We also work with clients managing eating disorders, depression, or obsessive-compulsive patterns that often accompany anxiety. Our integrated approach supports overall mental and emotional wellness.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety in Edmonton

Through CBT, You Can Learn To:
- Recognize anxious thinking patterns
- Challenge catastrophic thoughts
- Reduce avoidance behaviours
- Improve emotional regulation
- Build confidence when facing fears
- Develop practical coping skills
Your clinic already emphasizes CBT throughout the website, making this an important SEO topic cluster.
