MAJOR TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDERS
Life is stressful, and there are any number of situations and circumstances that can cause occasional anxiety and stress, leaving you frustrated and tense. This type of stress and tension is not uncommon, but when anxiety is chronic and you feel as if nothing you do will make it go away, it can cause you to feel lost, alone, and disempowered.
Before seeking an anxiety therapist in Denver, you should understand that anxiety disorders involve more than temporary doubt, worry, or fear. There are six major types of anxiety disorders that Dr. Lauren Gorog specializes in, each one unique in its own way.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a common anxiety disorder exemplified by chronic (persistent and recurring) excessive, exaggerated anxiety or worry about several things — even when there is little or no reason for it. The fear and anxiety can cause significant problems.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder which is best described by the unwanted presence of recurrent, thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Common repetitive behaviors include hand washing, checking, counting, or cleaning are completed in hopes of preventing these obsessive thoughts or making them go away. The relief provided by performing these repetitive tasks is short lived, and a person’s anxiety is significantly increased if these rituals are not completed.
Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder
is an anxiety disorder characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear (panic attacks) accompanied by powerful physical symptoms which can include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, heart palpitations, and/ or abdominal distress. Panic attacks can occur at any moment: at night, panic attacks while driving, in the middle of the business day, while pregnant, etc. Panic attacks or having a panic disorder can significantly affect your quality of life, but treating panic attacks or panic disorder therapy and treatment can be very effective.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
is most often referred to as PTSD. This anxiety disorder can develop after exposure to a shocking, terrifying, or dangerous event or ordeal such as military combat or domestic abuse in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events which can trigger PTSD episodes besides military combat include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, and traumatic accidents. People who have PTSD may feel stressed, anxious, or frightened even when they are not in danger.
Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder)
Social Phobia, or Social Anxiety Disorder, is typified by overwhelming feelings of anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations. This phobia can be triggered by a single type of situation such as a fear of speaking in front of people whether in a public, formal setting or even a casual setting, or, in its most acute form, may be so extensive that symptoms appear virtually any time a person with this disorder is around other people. If you are looking for a social anxiety therapist in Denver or near you, feel free to contact Dr. Lauren Gorog to see if remote therapy can be offered to you.
Illness Anxiety Disorder (formerly known as Hypochondria)
is an anxiety disorder identified by excessive worrying that you are or may become gravely ill. This is often-times accompanied by the belief that normal body sensations, or minor symptoms, are an indication of a serious illness, even if medical exams do not reveal a serious medical condition, which can result in extreme anxiety that may disrupt your life.

Climate Change Anxiety, Eco-Grief, or Eco-Anxiety:
Concern about climate change may be having an impact on mental health, with more than two-thirds of adults (68%) saying that they have at least a little “eco-anxiety,” defined as any anxiety or worry about climate change and its effects. Additionally, researchers are finding that those experiencing effects of climate change, like flooding, hurricanes, wildfires, are starting to have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
These effects may be disproportionately having an impact on the country’s youngest adults; nearly half of those aged 18-34 (47%) say the stress they feel about climate change affects their daily lives.
While not labeled in the DSM as an anxiety disorder, climate change anxiety or “eco-grief” is becoming more prominent in populations as “Climate change and the tolls on our mental health are far reaching,” said Arthur C. Evans Jr., PhD, APA’s chief executive office.

What our Client's Say

Adam and Cam Wells2024-05-30 We recently had the pleasure of having sessions for our child with Dr. Gorog for help with anxiety and behavioral development, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dr. Gorog is truly exceptional in her approach, skillfully addressing both the psychological and somatic aspects of anxiety. Her comprehensive method ensures that every facet of one's well-being is considered, not just the mental or emotional symptoms. From the very first session, Dr. Gorog made my kiddo feel understood and at ease. She has a remarkable ability to identify the physical and somatic manifestations of anxiety and provides practical strategies to alleviate these symptoms. Her holistic approach has helped ALL of us gain a deeper understanding of how the body and mind are interconnected, which has been incredibly empowering. Dr. Gorog's expertise in treating anxiety is evident in the personalized care she offers. She tailors her sessions to the patient's unique needs, and ensures that our child always feel supported and heard. With her guidance, our child has learned effective techniques to manage anxiety, and we as the parents have learned a great deal more about how to support their journey. I highly recommend Dr. Gorog to anyone struggling with anxiety, especially if you're looking for a provider who addresses both the mental and somatic dimensions of this condition. Her compassionate care and comprehensive treatment approach have made a significant difference in our family and our kiddo. Linden Brooks2024-03-20 Dr.Gorog is the best therapist I've ever seen. After struggling with my mental health for years and trying multiple therapist and approaches I was losing hope....until I walked into Dr.Gorogs office. She creates an environment of safety allowing you to be truly vulnerable, for me I was able to go deeper then ever before. This environment and trust allows her to guide patients in restructuring the meaning assigned to external factors and exploring how past events and traumas have wired our brains, which for me was a large cause of my mental distress. She helped me reframe my anxiety and view it in a positive light, an emotion/stimulus I no longer fight but embrace and explore with curiosity. Through our time, I've done some exploration of my mental health outside of traditional practices, she was supportive, encouraging, and provided valuable advice on how to approach a new therapy modality, which was solely effective because of the work we had previously done. Furthermore, she was important in the integration of the experience and holding me accountable to the discoveries. I would recommend Dr.Gorog to any and everyone whose looking to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions, overcome and cope with deep trauma, navigate a large life event, or simply improve your life to lessen your symptoms and be more fulfilled. Gabe Casher2023-08-10 As a fellow therapist, I highly recommend Dr. Gorog for psychotherapy services. She has a warm and down-to-earth presence, and uses an evidence-based, no nonsense approach with her clients. She is direct and gentle at the same time, which leads to great outcomes for clients. With Dr. Gorog, you are in good hands! Efrain Lemus2022-04-12 Best psychotherapy in Denver, I was having hard problems with anxiety and she gave me the tools to fight the anxiety and keep it controlled. Dr. Lauren I’ll definitely come back to you in the future when I feel the anxiety is getting out of control again. Terrel Davis2021-07-07 Dr. Gorog is a well-qualified and compassionate therapist, who provides a safe environment for self-growth and healing. Without hesitation, I recommend her highly to friends and family. Amber “Amber B Shells”2020-12-19 My experience with Dr. Gorog was extremely insightful. I have learned skills and knowledge that cause me to feel calmer, more secure in myself and gave me a deeper understanding to myself on a deeper level. I tend to be a sensitive person due to trauma and with my session with Dr. Gorog I gained a higher level of consciousness and was able to see how things effect my nervous system and heart rate. My session gave me the understanding of how things that appear as normal daily occurrence like my phone ringing effected my physiological make up and took me out of the present moment. Amber B. Shells Marc Allan (Marc_Allen)2020-02-15 I have made great progress with my anxiety and depression with Dr. Gorog’s help. Dr. Gorog is passionate about helping others and is one of the most compassionate people I’ve met. She has helped me look at life and myself in thoughtful and positive ways. I highly recommend Dr. Gorog.
