ANXIETY THERAPY

Online Anxiety Therapy in California

When your mind won’t slow down, everything feels harder. Therapy can help you feel calmer, steadier, and back in control.

Does this sound like you?

Anxiety can show up in your thoughts, your body, or both. You might worry all the time, feel tense for no clear reason, or have trouble sleeping. Here are some common signs.

  • You can’t stop worrying. You replay conversations, think about what could go wrong, or lie awake at night with your mind racing.
  • Your body feels tense. Tight shoulders, headaches, a racing heart, or an upset stomach, even when nothing is wrong.
  • You avoid things. You cancel plans, put off hard conversations, or skip things that make you nervous.
  • You’re always on. You find it hard to relax, slow down, or feel like you’re doing enough.

Tools and approaches for anxiety

Every person’s anxiety is different, so your plan will be too. We’ll start by understanding what triggers your anxiety and what keeps it going, then use a mix of proven approaches to help you feel calmer day to day and handle anxious moments with more confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

In CBT, we’ll catch the anxious thoughts that make things feel worse, check whether they’re actually true, and practice more balanced ways of responding.

Integrative Therapy

This approach combines different types of therapy into a plan built around you. It helps you understand the root of your anxiety, not just the symptoms.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

This approach focuses on what’s already working and the small changes that will make the biggest difference. It’s practical, goal-oriented, and built for steady progress.

What we can improve together

The goal isn’t to never feel anxious again. It’s to feel anxious less often, and to know what to do when you do.

  • You sleep better and worry less
  • You can relax and enjoy your day
  • You stop avoiding things that matter to you
  • You have skills you can use on your own

Common questions about anxiety therapy

Starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions. Here are answers to the ones I hear most often. If you don’t see yours, reach out and ask.

Get in touch

It’s a great question, and the two can feel a lot alike. Stress is usually tied to something specific, like a deadline, a move, or a hard conversation, and it tends to ease once that situation passes.

Anxiety often sticks around even when things are calm, or feels bigger than the situation calls for. You might worry about things that haven’t happened yet, have trouble relaxing, or notice it affecting your sleep and focus.

You don’t need to know which one it is before reaching out. If it’s getting in the way of your daily life, that’s reason enough to talk, and we can figure it out together.

No. As a psychologist, I don’t prescribe medication, but therapy and medication can work well together. If you’re already taking something for anxiety, or wondering whether it might help, I’m happy to coordinate with your doctor or psychiatrist so your care feels connected. Many people also find that therapy alone gives them the tools they need. Either way, we’ll figure out what’s right for you.

It’s different for everyone, and it depends on what you’re working on and what you want to get out of therapy. Many people start to feel a difference within a few months of weekly sessions, especially as they practice new skills between appointments. We’ll check in regularly on how things are going, and as you feel more steady, we can space sessions out. The goal is for you to feel confident handling anxiety on your own, not to stay in therapy forever.

Reaching out is often the hardest step, so thank you for taking it. I’ll get back to you within 1–2 business days to set up a free 15-minute call. On the call, you can share as much or as little as you’d like about what’s going on, and I’ll explain how I work and answer any questions. There’s no pressure to commit. If we both feel it’s a good fit, I’ll send a few intake forms and a secure video link for your first session.

Sessions are 50 minutes over secure video, so you can join from home, your car, or anywhere private in California. We’ll usually start by checking in on your week and what’s been weighing on you most. From there, we’ll work on what’s driving your anxiety and practice a skill you can use before we meet again, like a breathing technique or a new way to respond to anxious thoughts. You set the pace, and there’s never pressure to share more than you’re ready to.

That’s more common than you might think, and it doesn’t mean therapy can’t work for you. Often it comes down to fit, timing, or an approach that wasn’t right for you. My style is warm but direct, and focused on practical skills, so you’ll always know what we’re working on and how to tell it’s helping. In our free consultation, you’re welcome to share what didn’t work before, so we can do things differently this time.
