For anxiety, the specific issue of self-monitoring is best understood in context. Therapy may address this concern by helping a person understand thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and environmental stressors connected with it. Different approaches are appropriate for different people and problems. A therapist can discuss goals, expected methods, progress measures, confidentiality, and alternatives so the plan can be tailored to the person's needs. Individual experiences can vary, so personalized guidance may be appropriate.
