Treatment Options for Anxiety Disorders

Inpatient/Residential Treatment

Residential Treatment Centers are designed to offer mental health resources, structure, support groups and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions in a live-in environment. Because these are inpatient behavioral health programs, they offer a more holistic and hands-on, in-person treatment approach with 24/7 access to health care and personalized treatment plans. Our Residential Facilities have qualified clinicians on staff, to provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care.

Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based treatment, and psychoeducation resources. IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment Virginia offers intensive outpatient programs with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP)

PHP is a form of mental health treatment designed to help those struggling with mental health issues through a combination of group and individual therapy, to improve well-being. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. PHP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. 

Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends, with less disruption to daily life. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. AMFM Mental Health Treatment in Virginia offers both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Our Virginia Locations

AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides secluded and secure residential care facilities for mental health throughout Virginia. We particularly emphasize recovering in-tandem with holistic treatments, such as physical fitness, yoga, music therapy, and other alternative treatments paired with more traditional, evidence-based techniques.

Types of Therapy and Counseling for Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety can affect individuals differently, which often requires individual treatment. There are a variety of anxiety treatment options that can be used to address the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of this condition. Some of the most common approaches used in anxiety counseling sessions include:

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy takes place in a one on one setting with a licensed professional, usually consisting of a combination of dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, in which a person can talk through his or her individual struggles. Individual therapy and mental health care is one of the most crucial steps for those facing mental health challenges.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds3. These groups can span a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes4. Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress, equipping you with improved coping skills to walk through anxiety. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy.5 By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic events, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma.

Crisis Intervention and Stabilization Services

A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness.”6 The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.

Psychiatric Care

AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides comprehensive psychiatric care, along with traditional therapeutic modalities. Our on-staff clinicians are equipped to design personalized treatment plans for your continued success. In combination with psychotherapy, psychiatric care is handled safely, to help you or your loved one overcome mental health challenges. 

Additional Therapies Offered In Virginia

Our clinical team utilizes a variety of modalities in addition to those listed above to treat anxiety disorders, including TMS, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodrama, Expressive Arts Therapy, and more.

Physical Fitness & Yoga

Physical fitness and yoga promote stress-reduction, emotional regulation, and overall well-being, contributing to improved mental health outcomes. Incorporating physical activity and yoga into a comprehensive treatment plan supports long-term mental health recovery.

Equine Therapy

Equine Therapy is offered on a weekly basis at all of AMFM’s Virginia residential treatment locations. Equine Therapy has been proven to “significantly reduce PTSD and depressive symptoms three months post-treatment” according to recent studies at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry.7 This type of therapy is facilitated by trained professionals who use horses to help individuals achieve emotional growth and improve mental health.

Family Therapy Programs

Family therapy may be used when a loved one’s mental health symptoms are affecting others. This can increase a family members’ understanding of anxiety and talk about how to support each other. A family therapist leads sessions that can improve communication patterns, focus on problem-solving, address unresolved conflicts, and increase the sense of understanding among one another.

Additional Mental Health Conditions for Treatment

AMFM Mental Health Treatment has extensive experience treating a variety of mental health disorders beyond anxiety through evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to the following:

  • Depressive Disorders
  • Eating Disorders
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • ADHD
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Mood Disorders
  • Personality Disorders
  • Psychosis 
  • Schizophrenia
  • Panic Attacks


Recovery can feel isolating; mental health programming can provide cohesive treatment plans to help you or your loved one as you move toward a higher quality of life
