Anxiety Therapy

Online Therapy for Anxiety

Are you suffering from uncontrollable worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, chronic fatigue, and/or frequent irritability? Have these symptoms resulted in a rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, headache, nausea, or sleep deprivation? If you are experiencing any of these things, you may have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can significantly impact your daily life, manifesting in various forms including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder
  • Panic Disorder
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

While these disorders can be disheartening and overwhelming, online therapy for anxiety can help to relieve your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life. Through professional anxiety counseling, we can work together to identify the root causes of your anxiety, understand your triggers, and develop coping strategies for managing symptoms.

Worry vs. Anxiety

It is normal to experience worry and stress in our daily lives. However, when these feelings become persistent and overwhelming, it may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Unlike regular worrying, which tends to subside once the cause of concern has passed, anxiety continues even when there is no obvious trigger. Often combined with fear, chronic anxiety can interfere with your day-to-day activities and thought processes and become debilitating.

Benefits of Online Anxiety Therapy

If you suffer from anxiety, you may feel isolated. Recognizing the need for support is a crucial first step. One of my most requested telehealth counseling services, online therapy for anxiety provides you with a safe and confidential space to discuss your concerns and work towards finding effective solutions.

Here are some of the benefits of receiving anxiety therapy online:

  • Convenience: Online anxiety counseling allows you to receive treatment from the comfort of your own home or other safe place, eliminating the need for travel.
  • Flexibility: With online counseling, you have more flexibility in scheduling appointments. This can be especially helpful for those with busy schedules or those who live in remote areas without access to mental health services.
  • Comfort and privacy: Many people feel more comfortable opening up about their anxiety when talking to a therapist from their own environment. Additionally, telemental health counseling ensures that your sessions remain confidential.

Treating Anxiety through Proven Methods

Treatment for anxiety involves tailored approaches that often include confronting fears and developing new coping responses. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques to address anxiety:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach focuses on identifying and altering negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. By challenging irrational beliefs and replacing them with healthier, more realistic thoughts, clients can change their emotional responses and behavior, thus reducing anxiety symptoms.
  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR is a structured program that incorporates mindfulness meditation to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings in the present moment. By cultivating a non-judgmental awareness, clients learn to manage their stress and anxiety levels more effectively, promoting a sense of calm and perspective in their daily lives.

Additionally, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) related somatic grounding and calming skills to help regulate your nervous system.

By addressing the root causes of anxiety related to trauma, these therapies can promote healing and foster resilience. Because each situation is different, I will work with you to create a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and concerns.
