When worry keeps taking up your attention, asking for support can be a practical next step. At ATL Behavioral, individual therapy can help you explore how anxiety is affecting your life and work toward goals that matter to you. (Individual Therapy)
Our practice has offices in Cumberland/Atlanta and Canton, with telehealth appointments for clients located in Georgia at the time of the visit. Ask which clinicians currently provide anxiety care for your age group, preferred appointment format, and location. (Locations)
You might be looking for support because worry is hard to set aside, sleep has become difficult, or fear is changing what you do day to day. You may also be unsure whether your experience fits an anxiety diagnosis. You can start by talking about what has been difficult and what you want help with. (NIMH Anxiety Disorders, NIMH Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
If you are still trying to understand the signs, read our guide to 10 common anxiety symptoms and when to seek help.
The work begins with understanding your experience. Your therapist can help you identify the concerns you want to address and set goals for care. Sessions may include exploring patterns in thoughts and emotions, practicing coping skills, and reviewing what is changing over time. Your plan should reflect your needs and the clinician’s approach. (Individual Therapy)
ATL Behavioral offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT. ACT includes noticing thoughts and feelings with greater openness, clarifying what matters to you, and taking actions that fit those values. Ask whether ACT is appropriate for your concerns and available with the clinician you are considering. (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
Your therapist can discuss treatment options and whether another health professional should be involved. New or unexplained physical symptoms may also need medical assessment. (NIMH Generalized Anxiety Disorder, NIMH Panic Disorder)
A useful first question is whether the clinician works with your concerns and age group. You can explore the full team, then ask about current fit and availability.
If you are seeking care for someone under 18, contact the practice before booking to ask about consent, parent or guardian involvement, and privacy.
Ask which methods a clinician uses for anxiety, what the first appointment involves, and how you will decide together whether therapy is helping. Methods, age ranges, and appointment options vary by clinician.
You can find office information and directions on our Locations page:
The practice also offers telehealth across Georgia. Ask about a suitable anxiety clinician, current openings, and whether in-person or virtual care is appropriate for your needs. (Locations, Telehealth)
Our Fees and Insurance page currently lists a $150 private-pay rate per individual therapy session and sliding-scale options based on financial need. Confirm the fee for your clinician and appointment type before you book. (Fees)
If you plan to use insurance, ask the practice to check your plan and the clinician’s participation. Your cost can depend on coverage, deductible, copay, and coinsurance. You can also ask about reduced-fee availability and out-of-network documentation. (Fees)
Your first conversation is a chance to explain what led you to seek support, share relevant background, and discuss goals for therapy. Before the appointment, ask about the session length, paperwork, cost, and anything you should bring. (Individual Therapy)
You can tell the therapist if a question feels difficult to answer, ask why it is being asked, or ask to pause. You can also ask what is kept private and when information may need to be shared.
You do not need a polished explanation of what you are experiencing. It is enough to begin with what has been hard and the questions you have.
