From Katharina Star, Ph.D., your Guide to Panic Disorder

Many different types of therapy are available for people with panic disorder. Some forms of therapy are used to address specific needs that panic disorder sufferers often face, such as loneliness or relationship problems. While other forms, such as CBT, are more focused on learning new skills to cope with panic and anxiety.

The following articles describe how different modes of therapy can be used to address specific issues as part of the panic disorder treatment plan. 

Therapy Options for Panic Disorder
Common therapy options for panic disorder include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (PFPP). These forms of therapy address the symptoms of panic disorder, helping the panic sufferer cope with their condition. Other types of therapy, such as couples therapy, can also be utilized to address specific panic-related issues. Here you will find an overview of therapy options for panic disorder and specific needs.

Group Therapy for Panic Disorder
People with panic disorder are often faced with feelings of loneliness. Group therapy can be a helpful treatment option for panic sufferers who are dealing with isolation. Through the group therapy process, a person with panic disorder meets with a mental health professional and other clients who are dealing with similar issues. This form of therapy can provide a sense of social support, as the person with panic disorder learns new ways to deal with their condition.

Marriage and Family Therapy for Panic Disorder
Panic disorder can affect many areas of a person's life, including one's relationships. Family and close friends may be negatively impacted by a loved one's diagnosis of panic disorder. Marriage and family therapy (MFT) may be the best option when panic disorder has come between you and your closest relationships. MFT can assist loves in creating better communication and healthier bonds. Learn more about how MFT can help you manage panic disorder while maintaining healthy relationships.

Art Therapy for Panic Disorder
Talk therapy may not always help a panic disorder sufferer get to the root of their issues. Art therapy can assist the client in expressing deep emotions that that cannot always be articulated through words alone. The art therapy process involves the use of a creative medium, such as painting, drawing, or collage, to encourage growth and healing. This article provides more information on how art therapy can be used to treat panic disorder.
