At Forma Counseling, one of the questions we hear most often is some version of this: “I know I have anxiety, and I need it to calm down… but do I just learn some breathing tricks and CBT worksheets, or do I need to dig into my childhood, my attachment wounds, my ‘deeper issues’?”

The short answer: it depends on what kind of anxiety you have and what kind of life you want on the other side of therapy.

Existential therapy is a depth-oriented approach that invites clients to explore the fundamental questions of being human: Who am I? What matters to me? How do I live a meaningful life in the face of uncertainty, freedom, and responsibility? While these questions can sound philosophical, they are deeply practical. They shape how we make decisions, respond to challenges, and understand ourselves in the world.

While modern psychology offers powerful frameworks for healing, some of the deepest insights into human suffering and transformation come from much older sources—the ancient wisdom traditions. Texts like the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, and the dialogues of Plato all speak to the same central task of therapy: to help a person come into alignment with truth, meaning, and their own inner nature.
