Therapy can help with constant overthinking by helping someone recognize unhelpful thought patterns and understand what triggers them. It can also provide ways to handle uncertainty, challenge assumptions, and focus on what is actually within their control. Over time, that can make thoughts feel less overwhelming and easier to manage.
