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.

"Belinda Gray was absolutely phenomenal! My wife and I faced the most challenging period in our relationship in November 2024, reaching a point where I was considering moving out and starting a new life. This was unprecedented in our 14.5 years together, making it particularly difficult.

Desperately needing professional help, we discovered online-therapy.com. The website's user-friendly and interactive interface proved invaluable during this time.

Our weekly video sessions with Belinda created a sense of mutual accountability. Her expertise, kindness, and insight were instrumental in helping us strengthen our marriage. She provided us with practical tools and guidance that helped us reconnect and rebuild our relationship. Thanks to her support, we've made significant progress in understanding and communicating with each other.

I highly recommend Belinda to any couples going through difficult times. Her compassionate approach and professional expertise make her an exceptional therapist who can help you navigate even the most challenging relationship issues."

"I enjoy the ability to write to my therapist and get replies. This works for me. I write out how I feel, what I am going through. I’m more comfortable this way. Not a big talker. This site gives you options. There are different tools you can use. Pick and choose. Customize to your needs. I find this online therapy actually is helpful."

"I am enjoying my experience with online-therapy so far. My therapist is neutral and non-judgemental in the best way and asks great questions to help me reflect and further understand myself, while also providing guidance and helping me set activities to help me through my anxiety.

Using the platform itself is easy. Scheduling sessions is simple and the worksheets and informational content available is helpful for further understanding and working on myself."
