What Is the Number One Reason People Turn to Counseling?

Counseling Center of New Smyrna Beach

It’s no surprise that anxiety has become the number one reason people seek mental health counseling in the United States. Most of us experience anxiety at some point—whether it’s a brief moment of stress or a persistent sense of dread that seems to follow us everywhere. For many, anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, sleepless nights, irritability, or that gnawing feeling that something’s just not right. What we often forget is this: we don’t have to face anxiety alone. Help is closer than we think.

Why Counseling Works

Counseling offers more than just a safe space to talk—it gives us proven, evidence-based tools to find peace of mind. We can learn how to challenge negative thinking and explore the deeper roots of our anxiety. When we do the work, change happens. Counseling helps us build lasting skills and regain our sense of peace.
