At Sailor Health, we provide anxiety treatment tailored to the needs of older adults. Your therapist helps you understand your anxiety triggers, practice skills to calm your body and mind, and learn how respond to worry in new, more flexible ways.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Teaches you to identify and challenge the worry patterns driving your anxiety, and to gradually face avoided situations so anxiety loses its grip.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Trains attention on the present moment to interrupt the cycle of anticipatory worry and reduce the mental and physical toll of chronic anxiety.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Helps you change your relationship with anxious thoughts so they no longer dictate your choices or keep you from living fully.
- Relaxation Therapy: Introduces evidence-based techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to calm the physical symptoms of anxiety when they arise.
- Guided Imagery Therapy (GIT): Uses directed visualization to help your nervous system shift out of a state of tension or alarm and into a calmer, more settled state.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Addresses the relationship pressures and life changes like caregiving strain, conflict, or social withdrawal, all of which can fuel or worsen anxiety.
- Behavioral Therapy (BT): Uses gradual, structured steps to help you build confidence and reduce the avoidance that keeps anxiety in charge of your daily life.
- Problem Solving Therapy (PST): Equips you with a clear, step-by-step approach to the real-life uncertainties and challenges that trigger or maintain anxiety.
- Solution Focused Therapy (SFT): Builds on the moments when anxiety hasn't been in control and helps you draw on those strengths more consistently.

Anxiety involves ongoing worry, nervousness, or fear that feels hard to control. It can show up as racing thoughts, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, irritability, or a constant sense that something bad might happen, even when you can't explain why.
Is anxiety in older adults different from anxiety in younger people?
Anxiety often looks different in older adults, who are more likely to worry about health, finances, or becoming a burden to family. These concerns are real, not imaginary. A therapist who understands this won't dismiss your worries; they'll help you manage them without letting them take over.
I've been anxious my whole life. Can therapy really change something I've lived with for so long?
Yes, it can! Therapy doesn't require you to overhaul your personality. It teaches you how to respond differently when anxiety spikes. Even lifelong worriers can learn skills that make anxiety less disruptive and easier to live with.
My anxiety makes it hard to leave the house. Do I have to come in for appointments?
No. Sessions are available by phone or video, so you can get support from wherever you're most comfortable. There's no waiting room, no transportation, and no reason to let anxiety about getting there keep you from getting help.
