Dr. Nisha Todi offers compassionate, telehealth-based therapy to help individuals manage these symptoms and reduce the frequency of panic attacks.
What Causes Panic Attacks, and Can Therapy Help?
Panic attacks can be triggered by stress, anxiety, or specific situations, but sometimes, they appear without a clear cause.

Dr. Nisha Todi helps clients explore the root causes of their panic attacks and equips them with strategies to manage the physical and emotional symptoms effectively.

How Does Dr. Nisha Todi’s Therapy Help with Panic Attacks?
Dr. Nisha Todi utilizes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address panic attacks. CBT helps clients identify the thought patterns contributing to anxiety and panic, reframe these thoughts, and develop healthier responses. Therapy also explores the connection between anxiety and sleep disorders, which can exacerbate panic attacks. Additional therapeutic tools, including grounding exercises, deep breathing techniques, and mindfulness practices, are taught to help individuals regain a sense of calm and control during an attack.
What Coping Strategies Can Help During a Panic Attack?
Coping strategies are essential in managing panic attacks. Dr. Nisha Todi provides clients with tools and techniques to handle these episodes effectively, including:
Deep Breathing: Controlled, slow breathing can calm the nervous system and alleviate symptoms like a racing heart.
Muscle Relaxation: Progressive muscle relaxation techniques help reduce physical tension and shift focus away from panic.
Grounding Exercises: Techniques like the “5-4-3-2-1” method can anchor individuals in the present moment, lessening the attack’s intensity.
Trigger Awareness: Identifying and managing triggers can help reduce the likelihood of future episodes.
These strategies, practiced regularly, can make a significant difference in managing and preventing panic attacks.
