How to recognize anxiety.

  • Do you often feel nervous, restless, or on edge?

  • Are your thoughts racing or hard to control?

  • Do you avoid places or situations that make you uncomfortable?

  • Are you having trouble sleeping or catching your breath?

  • Do physical symptoms—like a pounding heart or upset stomach—show up when you’re stressed?

If this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing anxiety. It’s common—and you’re not alone. Support is available.

 
  • If anxiety is getting in the way of your day-to-day life, it may be time to talk to a professional. Consider seeking support if:

    • The worry or fear feels constant and hard to control

    • You’re experiencing physical symptoms like panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or tension

    • You’re avoiding certain places, people, or situations because of anxiety

    • You’ve tried self-help tools, but they’re not making enough of a difference

    You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable—counselling can help at any stage.

  • If being around people feels overwhelming, you’re not alone—this is a common experience. That’s why Counselling Alberta offers secure, online counselling, so you can get support from wherever you feel most at ease. Whether you’re at home, in a private space, or just not ready to meet face-to-face, help is still within reach.

  • Counselling gives you a safe space to talk about what you’re feeling and why. A counsellor can help you:

    • Understand your anxiety and what might be triggering it

    • Learn practical tools to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms

    • Build confidence in situations that feel overwhelming

    • Develop healthier ways to cope with stress

    • Shift unhelpful thinking patterns that keep anxiety going

    With the right support, anxiety can become more manageable—and life can start to feel easier again.
