Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety support at Luminox Healthcare
Anxiety can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Persistent worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, or constantly feeling on edge can affect your work, relationships, health, and overall quality of life.
At Luminox Healthcare Services LLC, we provide personalized anxiety evaluation, treatment, and medication management through convenient telepsychiatry services.
Our psychiatric providers work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults to identify the source of anxiety symptoms and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Signs to look for
- Excessive worry or racing thoughts
- Feeling nervous, restless, or on edge
- Panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, or shortness of breath
- Muscle tension, sweating, or trembling
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Difficulty concentrating
- Avoiding situations because of fear or anxiety
Contributing factors
Assessment considers medical and psychiatric history, medications, sleep, stressors, substance use, previous treatment, and other factors that may contribute to anxiety.
Care options
Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, treatment monitoring, lifestyle and stress-management guidance, and referral for psychotherapy when indicated.
Your provider will discuss which options are appropriate for you. Nothing here replaces an individual clinical assessment.

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment
Treatment begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Your provider will assess your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, sleep, stressors, substance use, previous treatment, and other factors that may contribute to anxiety.
Treatment may include:
Medication Management
When clinically appropriate, medications may be considered to reduce anxiety symptoms. Your provider will discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and expected outcomes and monitor your response over time.
Psychotherapy Through Referral
Therapy with a third-party clinician, particularly approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can help patients identify anxiety-provoking thoughts, develop healthier responses, and improve coping skills.
Lifestyle & Stress Management
Sleep, physical activity, caffeine and substance use, stress, and daily routines can influence anxiety. These factors may be incorporated into your treatment plan.
