Anxiety Explained Series
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than occasional worry or stress—it’s a persistent state of heightened alertness that can affect your thoughts, emotions, and body, even when there’s no immediate threat. While stress is temporary and tied to specific events, chronic anxiety keeps your nervous system in overdrive, leading to restlessness, tension, difficulty concentrating, and sleep challenges.
At Johns Creek & Alpharetta Counseling, we help adults, teens, and couples understand anxiety, identify triggers, and develop practical coping strategies. To learn more, check out our Anxiety Explained YouTube series, where we break down how anxiety works and how to manage it effectively.
How Do I Know If I Need Anxiety Therapy?
It’s normal to feel stressed or nervous from time to time, but chronic anxiety can interfere with your daily life, work, and relationships.
You might benefit from therapy if you notice:
- Persistent worry or fear that doesn’t go away
- Difficulty relaxing even in safe situations
- Avoidance of social events, work tasks, or responsibilities due to anxiety
- Physical symptoms like muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, or trouble sleeping
- Negative thinking patterns that affect your confidence and relationships
If you find that your anxiety feels out of control or constant, professional support from a licensed anxiety therapist in Alpharetta or online can help you regain balance and take back control of your life.
Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can learn to manage anxiety, make mindful decisions, and regain a sense of control—while keeping you actively involved in your progress every step of the way.

Supporting Children in Managing Worry, Stress, and Anxiety
Children experience anxiety differently than adults, and recognizing the signs is key to helping them cope.
How anxiety shows in children:
- Fight Response: Irritability, anger, or controlling behavior
- Flight Response: Withdrawal, avoidance, or emotional numbness
- Impact on Daily Life: Trouble sleeping, avoiding schoolwork, or social situations
Why children feel anxious:
Anxiety often stems from feeling misunderstood, unsafe, or lacking support at home or school. Understanding their struggles is the first step to helping them.
These behaviors often show that a child’s anxiety is overwhelming them, and they need guidance and tools to cope—not that they are being intentionally difficult.
