Abstract
Anxiety disorders represent a major mental health challenge, affecting the quality of life of millions of people around the world. The need for innovative therapeutic strategies prompted this integrative review, the aim of which is to analyze and synthesize innovative psychotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of these disorders. The review was conducted on the basis of a selection of studies investigating a variety of therapeutic modalities. The search was carried out in scientific databases and considered inclusion criteria such as relevance to new approaches and timeliness of results. Several emerging approaches to the treatment of anxiety disorders were identified in the literature. Among the therapies analyzed, transdiagnostic interventions, Mindfulness practices, online cognitive-behavioral therapies and psychodynamic therapies stand out.In addition to conventional approaches, innovative methods such as heart rate variability biofeedback, virtual reality therapy and Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy have shown promise. Analysis of the results suggests that these innovative psychotherapeutic approaches play a relevant role in the management of anxiety disorders, offering adaptable and personalized methods to meet the needs of individuals. Understanding these innovations can guide future clinical practice and contribute to advancing the effectiveness of the treatment of anxiety disorders.
