Overcome Your Agoraphobia with Online Therapy

Category: Agoraphobia Online Therapy | Last updated: February 1st, 2022 | Reviewed and approved by:

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by irrational fears of public or open spaces. A person suffering from agoraphobia usually has previously had a panic attack in public and, therefore, avoids similar places or situations due to the fear of re-experiencing it.

Common places that are avoided are places that are difficult to easily escape like cinemas, churches, stores and traveling publicly by bus, train or airplane. If you avoid public situations like this due to the fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you might be suffering from agoraphobia.

If this sounds like you, please know you are not stuck; there are treatments that can help you. Our therapy for agoraphobia is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to your fear of having a panic attack and lead to avoidance. With the help of your therapist, you will slowly be exposed to real-life situations that cause your fear of a panic attack. While this may sound scary, it will be safe and will eventually help you overcome your fears. You will learn how to control your anxiety and to look at your fears in a more realistic light. As you progress through the treatment, the thought or experience of panic will become less petrifying. Eventually you will be able to cope with previously fearful situations so you can take control of your life again.

"I like this platform so far for many reasons.

I can do it on my phone from anywhere.
It involves a lot of writing which I’m comfortable with.
My therapist is very responsive and provides thoughtul replies that show she’s not a bot. I do worry about bots. Some of the repiles could have been produced by a bot and an LLM but most feel personal and attentive.

I’ve never done online therapy. This was a good experience. I don’t know if I would do it again, but I will let you know after I’ve met with my therapist.

"The convenience of this online therapy is awesome. I love the options of message, voice or live video chat. The prices are reasonable as well as cheaper then other therapy sites I’ve seen. My therapist Karon Hopkins is a very caring professional and knowledgeable person that from day one has made it easy/ comfortable to talk to. I also love the dashboard. It makes it easy to keep up with your tasks, messages, appointments and daily journaling. The yoga videos are an added bonus. I did try the beginning one. It was easy but because of my personal health issues I couldn’t perform some off the positions. But, what I could do, generated relaxation. I found chair yoga was best for me. Perhaps this site could also have chair yoga as an option."

"I love the format. I feel like the worksheets gave my therapist and I opportunities to become familiar and established context and understanding before we ever had our first session."

"So far, I have found my therapist to be insightful, quick to respond, and the advice feels very personal as opposed to read from a textbook or chatbot. I have tried other online therapy services, and so far, this one seems to be a good fit."
