Anxiety

Anxiety is more than just “being stressed.” It can show up as constant worry, a restless mind, or a body that feels stuck in “fight or flight” even when nothing is obviously wrong. If you feel like your brain never really turns off, you’re not alone—and it’s treatable.

What anxiety can feel like

Everyone’s experience is different, but common symptoms include:

  • Racing thoughts or “what if” loops

  • Feeling on edge, jittery, or easily overwhelmed

  • Difficulty relaxing or falling asleep

  • Physical symptoms like tight chest, stomach issues, rapid heart rate

  • Avoiding situations because of worry or fear

  • Feeling like you’re “always on” and can’t switch off

Anxiety can show up as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific phobias—and it often overlaps with depression, ADHD, or sleep issues.

How treatment can help

Treatment for anxiety usually focuses on:

  • Understanding your patterns and triggers

  • Using medication when helpful to calm the “background noise”

  • Learning cognitive and behavioral tools to unhook from worry

  • Improving sleep and daily routines

  • Reducing physical symptoms of anxiety over time

You don’t have to eliminate all anxiety to feel better—we focus on helping you function, feel more grounded, and get your life back.

How BLT Tele Psychiatry supports anxiety

At BLT Tele Psychiatry, we:

  • Offer 60-minute intakes to really understand your history and current stressors

  • Explore medication options when appropriate, with clear explanations and no pressure

  • Collaborate with therapists or PCPs if you already have them, or help you find one if needed

  • Check in regularly with 30-minute follow-ups to track progress and make adjustments

  • Lifestyle adjustments — including breathing practices, caffeine reduction, sleep stabilization, and daily grounding strategies — often reduce symptoms alongside medication.

All visits are done virtually, so you can join from a familiar space—home, office, or wherever you feel most comfortable, as long as you’re in New York State at the time of your appointment.

If anxiety has started to shape your choices or your day-to-day life, we can help you build clarity, learn tools, and start to thrive again.
