Chicago’s Specialized Anxiety Treatment Center
Where ancient mindfulness wisdom meets evidence-based therapy in Lakeview. All therapists specially trained in clinical anxiety treatment.
Expert Chicago Anxiety Treatment for Every Disorder
Living with anxiety in Chicago doesn’t mean you have to struggle alone. Our therapists specialize in anxiety disorders—from social anxiety and panic attacks to OCD and generalized worry. Every member of our Lakeview team has completed specialized anxiety treatment training, and we’re proud to be an LGBTQ+ affirming practice.
Social Anxiety Therapy Chicago
Social anxiety disorder can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Our Chicago therapists use evidence-based CBT techniques and gradual exposure therapy to help you build confidence in social situations. At our Lakeview clinic, we understand the unique challenges of navigating Chicago’s social and professional landscape with social anxiety.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Constant worry and tension don’t have to control your life. Our anxiety therapists in Chicago have specialized CBT training and focus exclusively on treating GAD using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions. We help you identify worry patterns and develop practical tools to manage anxiety at our convenient Lakeview location.
Panic Attack Disorder Treatment Chicago
Panic attacks can strike without warning, creating fear of future episodes. Our Chicago anxiety specialists use proven exposure-based treatments and interoceptive therapy to help you understand and stop the panic cycle. Many of our Lakeview clients experience significant panic reduction within weeks of beginning treatment.
OCD Therapy Chicago
Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors respond best to specialized treatment. Our Chicago therapists are trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. At our Lakeview anxiety clinic, we create individualized treatment plans that target your specific obsessions and compulsions.
EMDR Therapy Chicago
When anxiety stems from past trauma or disturbing experiences, EMDR can process these memories at their root. Our EMDR-trained anxiety therapists in Chicago use this powerful technique to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories that fuel current anxiety. Available both in-person at our Lakeview office and via secure telehealth.
Health Anxiety Treatment
Excessive worry about physical health and symptoms can consume your thoughts and lead to constant medical checking. Our Chicago anxiety specialists use CBT and mindfulness techniques specifically designed for health anxiety. We help you develop a healthier relationship with bodily sensations and medical information at our Lakeview clinic.
Phobias & Specific Fears
Whether it’s fear of flying, heights, dogs, or needles, specific phobias can limit your life in significant ways. Our Chicago therapists use systematic desensitization and exposure therapy to help you gradually face and overcome these fears. Treatment for phobias often shows results faster than other anxiety disorders.
PTSD & Trauma Therapy Chicago
Traumatic experiences can leave lasting impacts that fuel anxiety, hypervigilance, and avoidance. Our Chicago trauma therapists use evidence-based approaches including CBT for trauma, exposure therapy, and somatic techniques to help you process difficult experiences and reclaim your sense of safety. Specialized trauma treatment available at our Lakeview clinic.
Mindfulness Therapy Chicago
Mindfulness-based interventions teach you to observe anxiety without judgment, creating space between stimulus and response. Our Chicago therapists integrate Buddhist-informed mindfulness practices with evidence-based CBT techniques. Learn meditation, breathing exercises, and present-moment awareness skills that reduce anxiety’s grip on your daily life at our Lakeview clinic.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Members of the LGBTQ+ community face unique stressors that can contribute to anxiety. Our Chicago therapists provide affirming, knowledgeable care that addresses minority stress, coming out anxiety, and discrimination-related trauma. We create a safe therapeutic space in Lakeview where you can explore your identity and manage anxiety without judgment.
Work Burnout & Stress
Chicago’s demanding work culture can lead to professional exhaustion and chronic workplace anxiety. Our therapists help high-achievers and professionals recognize burnout symptoms and establish boundaries. Using mindfulness and cognitive techniques, we address perfectionism and work-related anxiety at our convenient Lakeview location near Lincoln Park.
Stress Management Chicago
Daily stress doesn’t have to escalate into chronic anxiety. Our Chicago anxiety specialists teach practical stress management skills including mindfulness meditation, breathing techniques, and cognitive reframing. Whether you’re dealing with family stress, financial pressure, or life transitions, our Lakeview clinic offers tools for resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Chicago
CBT is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders. Our Chicago CBT therapists help you identify and change the thought patterns and behaviors that fuel worry, panic, and fear. Through cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and exposure techniques, you’ll develop practical skills for lasting anxiety relief at our Lakeview clinic.
Schema Therapy Chicago
Schema therapy addresses deep-rooted patterns and core beliefs that drive chronic anxiety. Our Chicago therapists use this integrative approach to heal early life experiences that contribute to persistent worry and emotional reactivity. Combining CBT with experiential techniques, schema therapy provides lasting change for anxiety patterns that haven’t responded to traditional therapy.
Negative Thinking & Cognitive Distortions
Chronic negative thinking and cognitive distortions fuel anxiety and keep you trapped in worry cycles. Our Chicago anxiety therapists specialize in identifying catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, and mental filtering patterns. Using evidence-based cognitive restructuring, we help you break free from negative thought patterns at our Lakeview clinic.

Why We Focus Exclusively on Anxiety Treatment in Chicago
Anxiety isn’t a character flaw or weakness—it’s a treatable condition that responds best to specialized care. While many Chicago therapists treat anxiety alongside depression, relationship issues, and other concerns, we’ve chosen a different path.
At Calm Anxiety CBT Therapy Clinic in Lakeview, every therapist has specialized anxiety treatment training and dedicates their time to understanding anxiety disorders. This special focus means we’ve developed deep expertise in the subtle distinctions between social anxiety, panic disorder, GAD, OCD, and other anxiety conditions—and we know which evidence-based interventions work best for each.
We believe the path to lasting anxiety relief combines cutting-edge treatments like CBT and EMDR with timeless mindfulness wisdom. You deserve therapists who truly understand anxiety—not just treat it occasionally.
Specialized Anxiety Care in Chicago, Rooted in Compassion
While many Chicago therapists treat anxiety among other concerns, we’ve built our entire Lakeview practice around one mission
Specialized Anxiety Training
Every anxiety therapist at our Chicago clinic has completed advanced specialized training in anxiety disorders—going beyond general psychology degrees to focus exclusively on anxiety-specific interventions and evidence-based treatments.
Evidence-Based + Mindfulness Integration
We integrate proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR techniques with Buddhist-informed mindfulness practices. This combination addresses anxiety at both the cognitive level (changing thought patterns) and the somatic level (calming the nervous system). Research shows this integrated approach produces longer-lasting anxiety relief than single-method treatments.
Comprehensive Anxiety Treatment
From social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety (GAD) to panic attacks, OCD, health anxiety, and specific phobias—we’ve dedicated our Chicago practice to understanding every manifestation of anxiety.
Transform Your Relationship With Anxiety
Ancient Buddhist philosophy teaches us that suffering often comes from our resistance to experience. Modern neuroscience confirms this wisdom—anxiety grows stronger when we fight it and diminishes when we learn to observe it with compassion.
Our Chicago therapists blend evidence-based treatments like CBT and EMDR with mindfulness-informed approaches that have helped people find peace for thousands of years. This integration creates lasting change that goes beyond symptom management.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thought pattern transformation
- EMDR for trauma-based anxiety processing
