Anxiety has a way of shrinking a life. You stop driving on the highway, stop answering certain calls, stop sleeping through the night. Therapy does not aim to erase every anxious feeling. It aims to help you understand what your anxiety is reacting to, to give you tools that bring it down when it rises, and to take back the parts of your life it has taken over.
Najla Sallum is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW19846) with more than 14 years of clinical practice. Pompano Beach clients are seen by secure video anywhere in Florida or in person at the west Boca Raton office, in English, Português or Español.
What anxiety therapy can help with
- Chronic worry and racing thoughts

- Anxiety that started after a loss or a frightening event
How the work is done
Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR-informed and attachment-based approaches, chosen for you rather than applied by formula. You learn what your anxiety is responding to, practice concrete skills to calm your body and your thinking, and gradually take back the things anxiety has made you avoid. You leave sessions with something to practice, not just something to think about.
When anxiety has roots
Sometimes anxiety is its own problem. Sometimes it sits on top of something else: an old trauma, a loss, the strain of building a life in a new country. When that is the case, the work makes room for it, at a pace you control.
