How We Treat Anxiety at Relationship Institute of Utah
There is no single path through anxiety. Our therapists are trained in multiple evidence-based approaches so your treatment can be tailored to your specific anxiety type, your history, and how you process and respond to stress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The most widely researched treatment for anxiety, CBT helps you identify distorted thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced, realistic responses. Most clients see measurable improvement within 8–16 sessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Rather than fighting anxious thoughts, ACT teaches you to observe them without judgment and commit to actions aligned with your values. It is particularly effective for generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Woven throughout our treatment, mindfulness practices help calm the nervous system, reduce reactivity, and build a more grounded relationship with difficult emotions. These tools give you practical daily techniques you can use between sessions.
We work with adults, teens, and couples experiencing anxiety, and we are experienced in supporting the unique pressures and cultural expectations our Spanish Fork and Utah County clients often navigate including faith-related anxiety and family stress.
