Anxiety can be a specific fear (worries about safety/security) or more generalized where you just constantly feel “anxious” and do not know why.

Therapy helps to uncover those patterns while also offering techniques to stop them from being debilitating, so you can move forward with a more satisfying, productive everyday life.
