Tired of Generic Anxiety Worksheets?Generate One Using Their Actual Triggers
Not "general worry." "What if everyone notices my hands shaking?" That specificity matters.
From scattered anxiety to structured work
What Are Anxiety Worksheets?
Anxiety worksheets are structured therapeutic exercises used in CBT, DBT, and ACT to help clients identify triggers, challenge anxious thoughts, and develop coping strategies. Common types include thought records for examining automatic thoughts, distress tolerance worksheets for managing intense emotions, and values clarification for ACT-based interventions. Research by Kazantzis et al. (2016) shows therapy with structured homework (including worksheets) produces nearly double the effect size (d=1.08) compared to therapy without homework (d=0.63). The key to effectiveness is personalization: worksheets that use your client's actual triggers and language show significantly higher completion rates than generic templates.
"The personalization is what makes this different. My clients actually complete their homework now because it speaks directly to their situation."

Who This Tool is NOT For
We believe in being direct about fit. This tool works best for certain use cases:
- ✗Group practices needing shared worksheet libraries. We generate fresh worksheets per-client. No central template repository.
- ✗Therapists who prefer static template collections. Reframe generates, it doesn't store. If you want 500 pre-made PDFs, Therapist Aid is better for you.
- ✗Clinicians who want AI to replace clinical judgment. You review everything. The AI drafts, you decide what fits your client.
- ✗Anyone uncomfortable with AI-assisted tools. If you're skeptical of AI in clinical work, we respect that. Try the 10 free worksheets to see if it fits your practice.
The Problem with Generic Anxiety Worksheets
Standard anxiety worksheets use abstract examples that require mental translation. When the worksheet doesn't reflect your client's actual experience, it feels irrelevant and goes unused.
"Template Fatigue"
Generic worksheets use textbook examples like "going to a party." Your client with work presentation anxiety needs different examples entirely. When the worksheet says "anxious situation" but your client thinks "Monday stand-up meeting," there's a recognition gap.
"One-Size-Fits-None"
GAD, social anxiety, and panic disorder need different approaches. A single template can't address distinct presentations. Health anxiety requires different tools than performance anxiety.
"The Canva Trap"
Hours spent formatting instead of treating. Therapists report spending 30+ minutes per worksheet trying to customize templates. Time that should go to client care goes to graphic design.
How Personalization Changes Everything
A personalized anxiety worksheet uses your client's exact triggers, their specific anxious thoughts, and the language from your sessions. The difference is immediate recognition.
