You Don’t Have to Live in Fear
If you’re unsure where to begin, our full range of therapy services can help you understand what kind of support is right for you. From anxiety and trauma to relationships and personal growth, we’ve got you covered.
Anxiety isn’t just “in your mind.” It’s a burden many carry—one that erodes presence, robs sleep, and strains your relationships.
You may feel:
- Constant mental tension that won’t ease
- Overwhelm in daily tasks or social settings
- Disconnected from your joy or focus
- Trapped in loops of “what ifs” and fear
Therapy is where things start to shift. With the right support, you can release survival mode—and rediscover ease.
Anxiety therapy at FAVA Counseling helps clients overcome worry, panic, and stress using proven approaches like CBT and ACT. Want a deeper dive into what anxiety is and how to manage it? Read our Complete Guide to Understanding and Managing Anxiety
Evidence-Based Anxiety Treatments: How We Use CBT, ACT, & Mindfulness
Unlike general counseling, we provide clinical anxiety treatment rooted in science and empathy:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) — challenge anxious thoughts and create new patterns
- ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) — reduce struggle, align with values
- Brainspotting & Mindfulness — regulate your nervous system and calm your mind
We serve Atlanta (intown and suburbs) and offer secure online therapy throughout Georgia for those outside the metro area.
Conveniently located near Buckhead, Inman Park, and Decatur
Private virtual sessions available anywhere in Georgia

FAQs About Anxiety Therapy in Atlanta
How do I know if I need professional anxiety therapy?
If constant overthinking, work stress, or physical tension begins to impact your sleep, mood, and relationships, professional anxiety therapy can help. While general worry passes when a stressor resolves, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) involves persistent, daily survival-mode patterns. Our Atlanta-based clinical team uses evidence-based counseling to help you transition from constant worry to physical and emotional calm.
How long does it take for CBT and ACT anxiety therapy to work?
Many clients report experiencing noticeable relief from physical anxiety symptoms within 6 to 8 sessions. For sustainable, long-term relief from chronic worry or panic attacks, clinical research indicates that a structured 8-to-12-week course of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the tools necessary to self-regulate and rewire anxious patterns permanently.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
Not all therapy is the same. At FAVA, we use targeted, trauma-aware approaches that go beyond surface-level talk. Many clients say it finally feels different—and more effective.
Is therapy private and secure?
Yes. All sessions—virtual or in-person—are HIPAA-compliant, confidential, and designed with your comfort in mind.
How much does it cost?
Rates range from $135–$200 per session. HSA/FSA accepted. Sliding scale options may be available.
Can I receive evidence-based CBT and ACT anxiety counseling online in Georgia?
Yes. Fava Counseling Associates provides HIPAA-compliant online therapy throughout the entire state of Georgia. Our virtual sessions utilize the exact same evidence-based techniques—such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness—as our in-person Atlanta therapy sessions, making specialized clinical anxiety care accessible without a commute.
While we customize these evidence-based strategies in your personal sessions, you can also explore our Complete Guide to Understanding and Managing Anxiety for additional self-led resources.
