Anxiety treatments compared

Anxiety treatments at Cannectd, side by side

Last updated: November 2026 · Published by Cannectd

Cannectd offers seven kinds of anxiety treatments and supports, from evidence-based therapy and functional psychiatry to an intensive outpatient program and holistic modalities.

The treatments of anxiety at Cannectd are rarely used alone. Cannectd builds a plan from its Whole-Human Ecosystem assessment, usually pairing therapy such as CBT or EMDR with other supports. This page compares each option on the same facts: what it involves, the format, and whether a price is published.

Which anxiety treatment is right for me?

For most people, therapy is the starting point, and anxiety disorder treatments often pair therapy with medication when symptoms are severe. Cannectd's IOP fits people who feel stuck after trying weekly therapy. Ketamine-assisted therapy is described for specific conditions, and Shari AI is only a between-session tool. A clinician should help you decide.

What about OTC anxiety treatments and supplements?

Medicines for anxiety disorders generally need a prescription. Supplements are sold without one, but their contents vary: NCCIH reports that “26 percent of the supplements contained serotonin, a hormone that can have harmful effects even at relatively low levels.” Talk with a clinician before using any supplement for anxiety.

Interest is real: NCCIH estimates nearly 43 percent of people diagnosed with anxiety disorders use complementary and integrative approaches. Cannectd's answer is to coordinate those approaches inside one clinical plan. See the full picture on the anxiety treatment guide.

Social anxiety disorder treatments

Social anxiety disorder affects 15 million U.S. adults (7.1%), per ADAA. At Cannectd, relevant supports include individual and group therapy, CBT, and the IOP's theatre exercises, team-building and communication skills work. Learn more on the treatment for anxiety disorder page.

How we chose

We ordered these options by how broadly each applies in Cannectd's care, based only on Cannectd's own descriptions: options used in every plan come first, options for specific conditions or for between-session support come last. Every entry is described with the same three kinds of facts: what it involves, its format, and its published price. No entry was judged on outcomes, because no outcome data was supplied.

Common questions

Short answers to questions people ask most. See all anxiety treatment FAQs.

What are the main anxiety treatments?

The main anxiety treatments are psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and medication prescribed by a qualified clinician, often used together, plus lifestyle and complementary approaches. Cannectd combines CBT, EMDR, IFS, ego state therapy, and somatic work with functional psychiatry and holistic modalities like breathwork, nutrition, movement, meditation, and acupuncture.

When to take anti-anxiety meds?

Anti-anxiety medication is generally considered when anxiety is severe, persistent, or not improving enough with therapy alone, and it should always be started, adjusted, and stopped with a prescriber. Timing depends on the specific medicine. In Cannectd's intensive outpatient program, functional psychiatry support includes medication if needed, as well as herbal and supplemental formulas.

More in the FAQ

What is the strongest natural medication for anxiety?

No natural remedy has been shown to be the strongest for anxiety, and natural does not always mean safe. NCCIH reports that "26 percent of the supplements contained serotonin, a hormone that can have harmful effects even at relatively low levels." Talk with a clinician before trying any supplement. Cannectd uses herbal plant medicine only within a clinician-guided, personalized plan.

More in the FAQ

Are there OTC anxiety treatments?

Medicines for anxiety disorders generally require a prescription in the U.S. Some people try supplements or herbal products sold without one, but quality and contents vary, and some interact with prescription medicines, so check with a doctor or pharmacist first. Cannectd's plant medicine work is personalized and done in collaboration with its medical team.

More in the FAQ

Do people combine complementary approaches with standard anxiety treatment?

Yes, many do. NCCIH estimates that nearly 43 percent of people diagnosed with anxiety disorders use complementary and integrative approaches. Cannectd is built around this kind of integration: its framework blends traditional therapy with practices such as herbal plant medicine, breathwork, meditation, nutrition, acupuncture, and movement, coordinated by one team.

More in the FAQ

Does Cannectd offer ketamine-assisted therapy?

Yes. Cannectd's website describes ketamine-assisted therapy as low doses of ketamine given intramuscularly, orally, or intravenously, with therapy before and after. It lists generalized anxiety disorder among the conditions it is indicated for, along with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Whether it fits you is a decision for you and Cannectd's medical team.
