“If a client told me they often cry when they feel overwhelmed, even if they can’t pinpoint a specific reason, I’d explore whether anxiety might be the cause. Feeling like your emotions build up until they spill over is tough, but you don’t have to manage it alone. There are ways to find relief and support.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

“Using small but frequent mindfulness strategies can make a big impact over time. For example, the next time you’re eating, take a bite, and pull your focus inward. Try to chew slowly and taste what you’re eating. Try to relax your body and notice how you’re feeling. This simple exercise can last a few seconds, but, over time, it can make being present feel more accessible.”

– Ashley Ayala, LMFT

“If anxiety seems random, try noting what happened just before — who you were with, how you felt, and if you overrode any personal boundaries. Often, hidden triggers come from subtle discomforts or internal conflicts that aren't obvious in the moment. Therapy can be a powerful space to explore these patterns, helping you build awareness and respond with more clarity and self-compassion.”

– Ashley Ayala, LMFT

Understanding online therapy for anxiety
Anxiety and its impact on mental health

Anxiety is a natural response to stress that can create feelings of worry, nervousness, or unease about certain events or situations. While occasional anxiety is normal, excessive or constant anxiety may interfere with your daily activities, work, and relationships. This can impact your quality of life and negatively affect your physical and emotional well-being.

Importance of seeking therapy for anxiety

Seeking therapy can be important if you’re struggling with anxiety. Your therapists can help identify the root causes of your anxiety and provide strategies to manage your symptoms. Early intervention can also help prevent the development of more severe anxiety disorders and reduce the risk of developing other mental health issues. Therapy for anxiety can help improve your overall well-being, self-esteem, and your ability to cope with life's challenges.

Common therapeutic approaches for anxiety

Therapists use several therapeutic approaches to address specific aspects of anxiety. For example:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your anxiety.
  • Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing people to feared situations in a controlled setting, helping to decrease anxiety.
  • Psychodynamic therapy involves examining unresolved conflicts and past experiences that may be causing anxiety.
Potential benefits of online therapy for anxiety

Online therapy for anxiety presents several potential benefits that often make it a more appealing choice compared to in-person therapy. It eliminates logistical challenges, enabling you to connect with licensed therapists throughout your state, even if they’re not in your local area. With online therapy, scheduling sessions become more flexible, fitting into your daily routine. Additionally, participating in therapy sessions from the comfort of your home can enhance feelings of safety, privacy, and comfort.

Tips for choosing an anxiety therapist
  • Look for a licensed therapist with experience in treating anxiety disorders and a specialization in your specific type of anxiety.
  • Review the therapist's treatment approach, and make sure it aligns with your preferences, needs, and values.
  • Ask about fees and availability to ensure your budget and schedule fit.
  • During your initial sessions, make sure that you feel comfortable and understood.
FAQs about anxiety therapy and anxiety therapists
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

If anxiety symptoms often disrupt your daily life or cause intense distress, you may benefit from professional treatment. Some signs that anxiety has become problematic include excessive worrying, constant nervousness, physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath, sleep issues, or avoiding certain situations. Seeking help early on can prevent anxiety from worsening into a more severe disorder and improve mental health overall. Therapy provides a supportive environment to get to the root of your anxiety, build healthy coping strategies, and learn techniques to keep symptoms under control.

How long does anxiety therapy typically last?

The duration of anxiety therapy depends on several factors – the severity of your symptoms, how quickly you improve, and the methods used by your therapist. Anxiety therapy may last a few weeks to several months or may continue for over a year. Your therapist should review your progress and adjust your treatment as needed to ensure the best approach for you.

What should I expect during my first anxiety therapy session?

In your first anxiety therapy session, your therapist may ask about your history, symptoms, and goals for treatment. You and your therapist should also discuss their recommended therapy approach, confidentiality, and expectations. During this initial visit, you’ll be able to ask many questions and establish rapport with your new therapist!

How do I know if a therapist is qualified to treat anxiety disorders?

Qualified anxiety therapists typically hold a degree in psychology, social work, or a related field, and have a license to practice in your state. Look for therapists with experience treating anxiety disorders and other relevant certifications, such as specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Will my insurance cover the cost of anxiety therapy sessions?

Insurance coverage for anxiety therapy varies by provider and plan. After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

Can anxiety therapy be done online or through teletherapy?

Yes! Anxiety therapy can be done online via video calls. Rula offers online therapy for increased accessibility, convenience, and comfort for many people seeking help for anxiety.
