Anxiety Therapy
Online metal health therapy for adults throughout California.
Does this sound like you?
You often feel like you're not doing enough or that you aren't enough.
Your mind spirals with what ifs.
You replay conversations in your head over and over.
You feel pressure to make the “right” choice and fear the outcome.
You avoid situations, people, or feelings because they feel too overwhelming.
You constantly worry about disappointing others or being judged.
You struggle to relax, even during “downtime.”
Who is anxiety therapy for?
This work is for anyone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I often support:
Adults navigating school, work, or relationships
Parents feeling pressure to “do it all”
People in big life transitions or who feel like they're at a crossroads
Highly sensitive, driven, or perfectionistic individuals
Anyone feeling like they’re just trying to keep it all together
We all experience anxiety differently.
Anxiety is a universal part of being human. It’s our brain’s way of trying to protect us. But when it becomes overwhelming, it can start running the show. Therapy can help you build a healthier relationship with anxiety so it no longer controls your life.
How anxiety therapy can help:
Therapy isn’t about “getting rid” of anxiety it’s about building a relationship with it. In our work together, we’ll explore the root of your anxiety and the ways it shows up in your body, thoughts, and relationships. You’ll learn how to:
Understand your anxiety instead of fearing it
Ground yourself in moments of distress to calm your nervous system
Face the things you’ve been avoiding
Reframe unhelpful thoughts and cognitive distortions
Practice mindfulness and build self-compassion
Explore and shift negative core beliefs
Identify triggers and recognize patterns
Let go of perfectionism and people-pleasing
Speak up for your needs and set boundaries
Improve sleep, routines, and self-care
Trust yourself and your decisions without overthinking
With the right support, you can feel more present, less overwhelmed, and more connected to who you are beyond the anxiety.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Anxiety is a normal and even helpful part of being human. It's your body’s way of staying safe and alert. But sometimes that alarm system gets stuck in overdrive, making you feel on edge even when there’s no real danger. Therapy can help you understand why it’s happening and give you tools to manage it with more ease.
-
Anxiety can show up differently for everyone. You might notice racing thoughts, a tight chest, difficulty sleeping, or feeling constantly on edge. Some people feel restless or easily overwhelmed, while others shut down or avoid things that feel too stressful. It's not just “worry” but it can affect how you think, feel, and function day to day.
-
Anxiety often develops from a mix of factors: genetics, life experiences, trauma, stress, or even how we were taught to cope with emotions. Sometimes it has clear roots, like a difficult past or high-pressure environment. Other times, it sneaks in quietly. No matter the cause, anxiety is your brain and body trying to protect you - even if it doesn’t always feel helpful.
-
If anxiety is getting in the way of your relationships, goals, or overall well-being, therapy can help. You don’t need to wait until things feel “bad enough.” Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
