Anxiety Therapy in Georgetown, TX
Anxiety Therapy in Georgetown, TX
Anxiety can look like a stomachache before school, a teenager who can’t turn their thoughts off at night, or a parent who feels on edge all the time. However it shows up, it’s exhausting, and it can start to shape everything your family does. At Central Texas Child and Family Counseling, we help children, teens, and adults in Georgetown and Liberty Hill understand their anxiety and build real tools to manage it. You don’t have to wait until things are in crisis to reach out.
Signs Anxiety May Be Getting in the Way
In children:
- Frequent stomachaches or headaches with no clear cause
- Meltdowns around separation, school, or bedtime
- Avoiding activities they used to enjoy
- Needing lots of reassurance, or asking “what if” questions over and over
In teens:
- Trouble sleeping or constant worry about school or friends
- Pulling away from family or activities
- Irritability, panic, or shutting down under pressure
In adults:
- Racing thoughts, tension, or trouble relaxing
- Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
- Worry that affects sleep, work, or relationships
How We Help
Our therapists tailor care to your age and stage. For younger children, that often means play therapy, which helps kids express and work through worries in the way they communicate best. Older kids, teens, and adults may work on practical skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to notice anxious thoughts and respond differently. Throughout, we focus on connection and felt safety, drawing on approaches like TBRI.
Anxiety Therapy for Children
When a young child is anxious, the whole family feels it. We work directly with your child while partnering with you, so you leave sessions with ways to support them at home. Learn more about child counseling in Georgetown
Anxiety Therapy for Teens
Teens need a space of their own to talk honestly. Our teen counselors help them build coping skills for school stress, social pressure, and big emotions, while keeping parents involved in the ways that matter. Learn more about teen counseling in Georgetown
Support for Adults and Parents

It varies by person and what’s going on. Your therapist will talk with you about goals and check in on progress along the way.

Out-of-Network Benefits

Using Your Insurance as a Client.
Many clients can get part of their cost reimbursed through their plan’s out-of-network benefits. We are considered out-of-pocket and don’t bill insurance directly, however we help to simplify the process of using your benefits. Here’s how.
Step 1: Check your benefits
Use our free insurance checker (left), or call the member services number on your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits?
- What is my out-of-network deductible, and how much have I met this year?
- After my deductible, what percentage do you reimburse?
- Do you reimburse sessions with associate-level counselors (LPC-Associate or LMFT-Associate)?
- Are family sessions covered? Are couples sessions covered?
Who’s eligible
Sessions with our fully licensed therapists (LPC, LMFT, LCSW) are often eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. Some insurance plans also reimburse sessions with our associate-level counselors, but please check with your plan first. Intern sessions are generally not eligible. Our interns and associates offer lower-cost sessions for families paying out of pocket.
Step 2: Save your invoices
Your invoices include the codes and provider information your insurance needs (often called a “superbill”). Our client portal will email you those superbill invoices after each session.
Step 3: Submit your claims
Submit invoices directly to your insurance company, or use a service like Reimbursify to make it easier: https://reimbursify.com/individual-page/. We receive nothing from Reimbursify; some clients simply find it helpful. Expect reimbursement to take several weeks, and keep copies of everything.
Good to know
Insurance companies require a diagnosis to process a claim, and it becomes part of your (or your child’s) insurance record. Many families are comfortable with that. Some prefer to keep counseling fully private, and paying out of pocket without filing is always an option.
