Get out of survival mode and into the life you actually want.
Anxiety isn’t the enemy. It’s your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you. But when your mind starts reacting to everyday stress like it’s a real threat, it can start to hijack your confidence, focus, and energy.
If you're a high achiever, you're probably great at holding it all together. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, though, your thoughts might be spinning, your body tense, and your motivation fading. It’s not that you’re broken—it’s that your system is stuck in survival mode.
You might notice yourself:
Obsessing over things you can’t control
Avoiding important decisions out of fear or overwhelm
Numbing out with work, perfectionism, or distraction
Feeling chronically tense, exhausted, or emotionally flat
Questioning your worth, even when you know you’re capable
This isn’t something you need to think your way out of.
What you need is a way to help your system feel safe again—so you can stop overanalyzing and start feeling like yourself.
My approach blends EMDR therapy, nervous system regulation, and practical CBT tools to help you shift out of survival mode and into clarity, calm, and connection. For people who are burned out on talk therapy or tired of managing symptoms on the surface, this work goes deeper.
You don’t have to keep pushing through. With the right support, real change is possible.
Anxiety therapy that gets at the root
You’ve probably already tried to “calm down” or “just think positive.” Maybe you’ve even read all the self-help books, listened to the podcasts, or practiced mindfulness until you were blue in the face. But anxiety doesn’t respond well to surface-level fixes.
What actually helps?
Understanding what’s fueling your anxiety and learning how to relate to it in a new way.
Whether your anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, chronic tension, overthinking, or a sense that you’re never fully at ease, there’s a reason your system is reacting the way it is. Your brain is trying to protect you, even if the alarm bells are going off at the wrong times.
In our work together, we’ll take a collaborative, tailored approach using a mix of evidence-based and holistic strategies. This may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, somatic techniques, and nervous system regulation tools so you're not just managing symptoms, but actually building internal safety and resilience.
Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the anxiety and create practical tools for moving through it. This approach works well if your anxiety is connected to:
Social situations or fear of judgment
Health anxiety or chronic worry
Sleep struggles, looping thoughts, or panic attacks
Feeling emotionally stuck, numb, or disconnected
High-functioning burnout and the pressure to “hold it all together”
You don’t need to power through it or figure it out alone. With the right support, you can build a relationship with anxiety that feels more grounded, compassionate, and manageable so you can get back to living with more freedom and trust in yourself.
What Anxiety Therapy Looks Like
In sessions, you’ll learn to:
Identify anxiety triggers and patterns
Use CBT-based strategies and anxiety therapy exercises
Work through past trauma that may be fueling your symptoms
Practice nervous system regulation
Build confidence in daily situations (including driving and social events)
I also offer CBT anxiety worksheets and tools to help you practice between sessions.
Together, we can:
Examine and challenge worrying thinking
Learn coping skills to manage symptoms
Build your tolerance to anxiety and stress
Calm your monkey mind through mindfulness techniques
Have a better relationship with food and your body
Set boundaries and learn assertive communication strategies
Let go of perfectionism & self-sabotage
Become comfortable with vulnerability and feeling your feelings
Reframe negative judgmental self-talk
Change unhelpful thinking patterns
Learn to embrace and accept uncertainty
You do not have to be a slave to your anxiety!
You can learn how to better manage your thoughts and emotions, and not let them control you!
You are capable of more than you think, maybe all you need is a little support and guidance. As your anxiety therapist, I will be right there with you every step of the way. I’m ready when you are!

FAQs about seeing an Anxiety therapist online
-
Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD):
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is widely recognized as the most effective treatment for GAD. It helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments can reduce excessive worry and improve coping strategies.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting anxiety as a part of life rather than trying to eliminate it. It encourages mindfulness and helps individuals align their actions with their values, even in the presence of anxiety.
Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD):
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP therapy is a specific type of CBT that is particularly effective for OCD. It involves gradually exposing individuals to feared situations or thoughts and helping them resist performing compulsive behaviors. This approach helps reduce the power of obsessions over time.
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT): I-CBT addresses the underlying inferential confusion in OCD, targeting the obsessive doubts that lead to compulsions. It focuses on resolving these doubts through cognitive techniques and does not necessarily require exposure exercises. Read my full article about I-CBT vs ERP for OCD treatment.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT can also be useful for OCD by helping individuals accept their intrusive thoughts without acting on them, and instead focusing on living a values-driven life.
Ultimately, the best therapy for OCD and anxiety depends on various factors, including personal preferences, the severity of symptoms, and previous anxiety and OCD treatment experiences.

Managing anxiety related to OCD requires a mix of strategies to alleviate symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is effective as it gradually exposes you to your fears while helping to lessen compulsive behaviors. Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) aims to address obsessional doubts and help you stay grounded in reality. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages mindfulness and living according to your values, which can lessen the effects of anxiety. Additionally, incorporating healthy lifestyle choices, stress management techniques, and support from professionals, support groups, and loved ones can significantly boost your overall well-being. By combining these methods, you can better manage OCD-related anxiety and enhance your quality of life.

Several factors can contribute to the worsening of anxiety and OCD symptoms. High levels of stress from work, relationships, or life changes can intensify these conditions. Additionally, avoidance of triggering situations may reinforce fears, making symptoms more severe over time. Not seeking or adhering to effective treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), can also lead to a deterioration in symptoms.
Unresolved trauma plays a significant role, as past experiences can heighten emotional vulnerability and increase anxiety. Cognitive distortions, or negative thinking patterns, perpetuate anxiety and OCD, making it challenging to break free from compulsive behaviors. Substance abuse often exacerbates these issues, further interfering with anxiety and OCD treatment.
Poor sleep quality can heighten anxiety and worsen OCD symptoms, while feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities can trigger or amplify these feelings. Perfectionism, characterized by high standards and compulsive tendencies, can increase anxiety levels. Lastly, a lack of support or feeling isolated can make managing anxiety and OCD even more difficult.
-
Overthinking can be a symptom of both OCD and anxiety, but the underlying mechanisms and experiences differ between the two.
OCD: In OCD, overthinking typically involves persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that cause significant distress. The individual may engage in repetitive mental or physical actions (compulsions) to try to reduce the anxiety associated with these obsessions. Overthinking in OCD is often driven by a need to alleviate uncertainty and prevent perceived threats, leading to compulsive behaviors.
Anxiety: In general anxiety, overthinking is characterized by excessive worry about various aspects of life, including future events, decisions, or everyday situations. This constant rumination is driven by a fear of potential negative outcomes and can lead to chronic stress and anxiety. The focus is on the anxiety-provoking aspects of life rather than specific obsessions or compulsions.

While GAD is distinct from OCD, both disorders share anxiety as a central feature. Individuals with OCD experience specific, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsion) and fears around imagined possibilities). In contrast, GAD involves more generalized and diffuse worry around real life situations without the specific obsessions and compulsions seen in OCD.
If you’re struggling with GAD or OCD and looking for support, working with an OCD and anxiety therapist can be beneficial. Whether through in-person sessions or online therapy, a specialized therapist can help address both generalized anxiety and OCD symptoms. Finding a therapist for OCD and anxiety near you can provide targeted treatment. For the best results, seek out a therapist who offers OCD and anxiety counseling and understands the nuances of both conditions.
