Overcome Health Anxiety with Online Therapy
Are You Health Conscious or Health Anxious?
Almost every one of us gets concerned about our health and well-being. And that concern can motivate us to try to optimize our eating, sleep and to lead a healthy lifestyle. Being health conscious can be great. It helps a lot in leading a healthy, happy, successful and meaningful life.
However, problems arise when this health consciousness gets transformed into “health anxiousness”. If you become too obsessed about your health and if you get too apprehensive that you are suffering from a severe illness (without the presence of such medical symptoms), then you may be experiencing health anxiety. In the past, psychologists referred to this as “hypochondria”. However, it is now called Illness Anxiety Disorder.
Illness Anxiety Disorder is a somatic symptom disorder in which the person suffering from it gets overly anxious or obsessed over his/her physical conditions. They see even a minor problem as an exaggerated severe illness. People suffering from Illness Anxiety Disorder often require continuous care, support and assurance from health service providers, family and acquaintances.
See if you recognize yourself in the symptoms of health anxiety:
What’s more, people with Illness Anxiety Disorder can also experience additional mental health issues, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Clinical Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Treatment Procedures
The good news is that Illness Anxiety Disorder can be treated. Effective methods of treatment include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy and support. You can receive these types of treatment here at Online Therapy.

"I found online-therapy through an extensive internet search. online-therapy seemed to provide the services I wanted with consistant positive reviews, and the price was more competitive than some of the ones I had already heard about.
I signed up and was pleased t see I qualified for a temporary discount due to my financial situation.
My subscription includes one 45 min session with the therapist i was paired with, Karen Coupe (LPC). Our sessions have been helpful. She is kind and very easy to talk to, she listens to all I have to say, sifts through it all and offers suggestions, advice and even explinations as to what might be causing certin things. She asks additional questions additional questions to better understand and follows up on topics we discuss.
She responds to messages and worksheet entries in a very timely manner.
I use the worksheets and am catching up on the videos. I plan to start using the activities calendar and yoga as I get more involved in my therapy journey.
I am very happy with my decision to subscribe to online-therapy.
Video sessions work on my laptop and my cellphone.
Online-therapy sends me reminders for scheduled appointments and offers outlets for me to give feedback.
I am so happy I decided to start my journey with this program and can imagine a brighter future for the first time in a long time"

"I Love Mina So Much! She is very helpful and easy to WITH. She gives me ALOT of ways to EXAMINE MY LIFE SO THAT I CAN FIND HAPPINESS FOR “ME” FIRST. You don’t see that in a lot of therapists. Also, I don’t see her choosing sides. I would NEVER WANT OR ASK FOR ANOTHER THERAPIST.
Thanks Mina🩷"

"I enjoy being able to do this at my own pace however that is also a problem for me because I keep avoiding doing the next step for days.
It makes me feel better doing the courses however I don’t think I can afford to pay for this service for very long."

"This is really helpful I know I need to start utilizing it more as being in the military and a student."

"I really really like the service this page provides. There are many different tools and approaches to help figuring out what the issues are and how to support each individual (using this for couples therapy) to move forward.
I took one star off because it is not always the easiest to schedule appointments due to different time zones and the page itself is sometimes having difficulties to keep a good quality for the video sessions.
Outside of that I still recommend this platform for therapy."

"my therapist has been a very good aide in asking the right questions to kick start my introspection on my current problems and issues. Very patient with my slow responses and a wonderful source of advice for corrective behavior."
