Hispanic freshman college students struggle with the transition from high school to college due to multiple stressors. These stressors include financial issues, feeling academically underprepared, balancing their family life and school life, well-being, and experiencing discrimination (Civitci, 2015a; Civitci, 2015b; Morgan Consoli et al., 2018; Lee & Liu, 2001). Anxiety is highly prevalent in Hispanic college students (Buser & Kearney, 2017; Puri et al., 2016). According to Wang et al. (2016), two-thirds of the Hispanic college students are either immigrants or first-generation population. Therefore, Hispanic freshman college students struggle with adapting to the new college environment, which results in them experiencing high levels of stress that affect their well-being and mental health (Wang et al., 2016). As a result, Hispanic freshman college students may experience psychological distress, such as anxiety that can result affect their academic performance (Schwitzer et al., 2018). This doctoral project is a theoretical study that focused on how cognitive behavioral therapy and family system therapy helps reduce symptoms of anxiety among Hispanic freshman college students. Clinicians can help clients manage their anxiety symptoms by using cognitive behavioral therapy and connecting them closer to their families, who reported experiencing a lower level of anxiety (Aguilera et al., 2018; Corona et al., 2017). Not addressing the symptoms of anxiety among Hispanic college students have been linked to academic difficulties (Hartmann & Prichard, 2018; Hamaideh, 2018).
