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 platform! There are so many ways to write and express yourself and have your therapist respond. The worksheets help identify the areas where you need the most clarification. Daily written contact helps greatly as you progress and having a therapist respond sooner than just a once a week live session makes a big difference."

"While I wish that I could have a live, in-person therapist, my lifestyle (I move around a lot) and lack of comprehensive healthcare coverage makes this impossible. This is the next best option. While it isn't perfect, it's been a good supplement to have an emotional outlet and sounding board as I've been struggling with my mental health over the past year."

"I've been to various doctors for my chonic headache over the past 2 and a half years and also did chiro and everything else, but those didn't help at all. With Dr. Evans' help, though, I've been able to achieve a meaningful reduction in my pain! It's awesome! She also has a keen way of understanding your situation without you having to spell it out, which is exactly what you want in a therapist.

Thanks, Dr. Evans!
