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 love this therapy platform so much.
It has features many other online therapy services don’t provide, like yoga videos and messaging between appointments. I love being able to see the chat history with my therapist because sometimes they document important realizations. I had an issue where I missed one week of therapy due to holidays and customer service added the missed session to my package for no extra charge. I have already recommended this to so many people. My therapist, Tessa, makes my recovery a priority and I trust she has my best interests in mind. I loved being able to choose a therapist based on my needs. Everything about this platform is so easy and helpful. I love it and it’s helping me so much.

"I was a little afraid of beginning online therapy, but I knew I needed to find help. I live in an area of Canada which does not have many services such as this, so I am very grateful to have been matched with my therapist. We've had only two sessions so far, yet I already feel a little more hopeful. Online Therapy.com's support staff are also amazingly helpful. Thank you!"

"I have been here for about a month and while I have previously had therapy, I needed to start again after reevaluating my life choices. The ability to choose a therapist that has matched my need and ability to research a bit about them has been helpful, as well as the ability to have a 1 on 1 video call as well. I am slowly building the structure I need to get out of the pits I have dug for myself from neglecting my own mental health and physical well being."
