Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear of public or open spaces. A person experiencing agoraphobia may have previously had a panic attack in public and may begin avoiding similar places or situations because of the fear that it could happen again.

Common places that are avoided include locations that may feel difficult to leave quickly, such as cinemas, churches, stores, or traveling by bus, train, or airplane. If you avoid situations like these due to fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you may be experiencing agoraphobia.

If this sounds familiar, it is important to know that many people learn ways to manage and reduce these fears. Our online therapy program is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured approach that focuses on the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and avoidance.

With guidance from your therapist, you can gradually begin facing situations that currently trigger fear. This process is done step by step and at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, many people learn new ways to respond to anxious thoughts, build confidence, and approach situations that once felt overwhelming.

As you continue working through these strategies, situations that once triggered panic can start to feel less intimidating. With practice and support, it is possible to regain confidence and participate more freely in daily life.

"I came to Therapy 5 weeks ago with a relationship problem that I had spent years without a solution for. I had tried therapy twice before to no avail, but after my first session with Gina, I knew I had found the right therapist to help me through my problem. First and foremost, she emphasized that the turmoil I was struggling with was not something to be ashamed of and assured me that we would work through it together. Gina came to each session with helpful insights and ended each session with thoughtful takeaways. Her responses to my worksheets were detailed, impactful, and encouraging. Gina helped me arrive at a solution that I am confident in, but more importantly, it's a decision that feels like my own. 10/10 would recommend."
