Anxiety

Anxiety can be overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and daily life. Whether you're experiencing chronic stress, excessive worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety, therapy provides a supportive space to explore these feelings and develop effective coping strategies. My goal is to help you understand the root of your anxiety, manage symptoms, and regain a sense of control and balance.

Therapy That Looks at Patterns, Not Just Symptoms

 

Anxiety can show up in different ways. For some people, it feels like constant stress. For others, it might be panic, social anxiety, or just always feeling on edge. Dr. Gribetz uses a personalized approach that combines proven therapy methods to help with both the emotional and practical sides of anxiety.

Building More Calm, Clarity, and Control

 

Anxiety therapy isn’t about making stress vanish instantly. It’s about helping you understand your patterns, build real coping skills, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life. Dr. Gribetz offers both in-person sessions in Great Neck and virtual therapy throughout New York State, so you can get support in the way that works best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Check out a few frequently asked questions below. 

​

What type of therapy is best for anxiety?

 

The right therapy for anxiety depends on you, your symptoms, and what’s behind your anxiety. Some people need help with panic or nonstop overthinking. Others want to dig into the deeper patterns that keep anxiety going. Since anxiety looks different for everyone, a personalized approach usually works best.

​

What are the main symptoms of anxiety?

 

Anxiety can show up in your mind and your body. You might notice constant worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, irritability, trouble focusing, sleep problems, or muscle tension. Sometimes, you might feel your heart racing or have trouble catching your breath. For many people, anxiety also starts to get in the way of work, relationships, or daily routines.

​

When should someone go to therapy for anxiety?

 

It might be time to try therapy if anxiety feels tough to handle on your own or starts to affect your daily life. Symptoms could look like nonstop worry, panic attacks, avoiding things you used to do, trouble sleeping, or feeling like anxiety is shrinking your world. You don’t have to wait until things are at their worst to get help.

​

Can anxiety therapy help with panic attacks?

 

Yes, therapy can help you understand panic attacks and learn how to respond to them in a way that works. It can also help you spot patterns, triggers, and fears that might be worsening your panic. Over time, therapy can make panic attacks feel less intense and less in control of your life.

​

Are your therapy services covered by insurance?

 

Yes, therapy may be covered by your insurance, depending on your plan. Dr. Gribetz accepts UMR Mount Sinai Top Tier and Northwell Direct. You can also find information on her site about insurance coverage, out-of-network benefits, and how to get reimbursement if you’re eligible.
