Anxiety Support Groups
Living with anxiety can feel isolating, but you do not have to face it alone. My Therapy Groups is a free directory that helps you find anxiety support groups, therapy groups, and peer-led communities where you can connect with others who understand what you are experiencing.
Why Join an Anxiety Support Group?
Anxiety support groups offer a safe, structured space to share your experiences, learn coping strategies, and build connections with people who get it. Research consistently shows that group therapy can be as effective as individual therapy for anxiety disorders. In a group setting, you gain multiple perspectives, practice social skills in a supportive environment, and discover that your struggles are more common than you might think.
Types of Anxiety Groups You Can Find
Our directory includes several types of groups for anxiety. Therapeutic groups are led by licensed therapists and use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Peer-led support groups are facilitated by people with lived experience and focus on mutual encouragement and shared understanding. Psychoeducation groups teach practical skills for managing anxiety symptoms, including breathing techniques, mindfulness, and thought reframing.
What to Expect in an Anxiety Group
Most anxiety support groups meet weekly or biweekly, either in person or virtually. Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes. You will usually find a mix of sharing, skill-building exercises, and group discussion. Many groups welcome newcomers at any time, while others run on a set schedule with a defined start and end date. Each listing in our directory includes details on format, schedule, and how to join so you can find the right fit.
