Anxiety Treatment in Akron, OH
Anxiety treatment in Akron starts with understanding how anxiety actually shows up for you, whether that is racing thoughts, physical tension or a constant sense of dread, and building a plan around it.
How We Address Anxiety at Monet Behavioral Health Center
Anxiety looks different from person to person. Some people experience it as constant worry that will not turn off, others as sudden panic, and others as physical symptoms like a racing heart or tight chest that show up before the worry even registers consciously. We start by working out your specific pattern, then build the plan around it.
From there, care may include medication management, individual psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or a solution-focused approach, or both together. Follow-up visits let us track what is actually changing and adjust course, rather than setting a plan once and leaving it untouched for months.
Some patients also carry physical symptoms alongside the worry, tight shoulders, a knot in the stomach, trouble sleeping, and those belong in the conversation too.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
Your first appointment is a full psychiatric evaluation, about 60 minutes, where we talk through your history, current symptoms and what has or has not helped in the past. Follow-up visits after that run 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, depending on where you are in treatment. Please give at least 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule.
If anxiety has made it hard to even book this appointment, that is common, and it is fine to start with a shorter free 15-minute consultation instead if the full evaluation feels like a bigger step than you are ready for today.
In Person in Akron or Online Across Ohio
Our office sits in the Firestone Park area of south Akron, zip 44319, easy to reach from anywhere in Summit County. If getting to the office is not realistic for you, telehealth psychiatry across Ohio covers the same evaluation, medication management and therapy from wherever you are in the state, including the wider Akron metro of Summit and Portage counties. For some patients with social anxiety in particular, starting by telehealth from home makes that first visit feel more manageable.
Insurance We Accept
We accept Aetna, Anthem, BlueCross and BlueShield, CareSource, Cigna and Evernorth, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare, Molina Healthcare and Optum. If we are not in-network with your plan, we can provide a superbill for you to submit for possible reimbursement. See the full breakdown on Medicaid, Medicare and the plans we accept.
Questions Patients Ask
How soon can I be seen for anxiety?
Booking is available online now, with appointments most weekdays and some evenings. A free 15-minute consultation is also available first if you have questions before committing to a full evaluation, and there is no long waiting list to get on the schedule.
Do I need a referral for anxiety treatment?
No referral is required. You can book a psychiatric evaluation directly through our online booking page, or call the office first if you would rather talk it through before scheduling anything.
Can anxiety treatment be handled entirely online?
Yes. Evaluation, medication management and therapy for anxiety can all be done by telehealth anywhere in Ohio, with the same structure and attention as an in-person visit at the Akron office.
Will I have to take medication for anxiety?
Not necessarily. Some patients manage anxiety through therapy alone, others combine therapy and medication, and some start with one and add the other later. That decision is made together, based on your evaluation, never assumed in advance.
