Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the connection between people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to interrupt anxiety and other mental health challenges. 

Dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT)

Focuses on building emotional regulation skills and encouraging participants to fully accept all parts of themselves — even their anxiety. 

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a therapeutic technique that uses specific eye movements or tapping to help people process traumatic memories.
