Feeling anxious from time to time is just normal. But when you can't seem to shake your concerns and your daily life is a constant state of worry and fear, then anxiety has taken an unhealthy grip on your life. In addition to emotional symptoms like always anticipating the worst, feeling restless all the time or having a constant nagging concern, anxiety can also have a lot of physical symptoms including a pounding heart, sweaty palms, feeling sick in your stomach, headaches and feeling tired.

Anxiety is our body's ancient and innate response to stressful situations such as being attacked by an aggressive animal or person. While we can't stop anxiety entirely because it is a natural response, we can take back the control of our lives so that anxiety does not get in the way of daily functioning.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you overcome anxiety. You see, it is not external events that trigger your anxiety; instead it is how you perceive the events that cause your anxiety. Using our online therapy for anxiety, you’ll learn how to identify your negative thinking patterns that cause your anxiety and replace them with more realistic and positive thoughts. CBT will help you learn to identify the physical sensations and feelings when you’re anxious. And, more importantly, you will learn coping skills to neutralize this anxiety. Using a technique called systematic desensitization, your therapist will help you to gradually and repeatedly expose yourself to the situations and fears that normally trigger your anxiety. While this may sound scary, research actually shows it helps you take control of your anxiety so that you can improve your quality of life.

"Originally, I came here because I was just looking for an online therapist to talk to, but when I found this site, I realized it's a whole platform with research-based information you can learn about in your own time. I'm actually more excited about learning from the worksheets and exercises. But having someone to talk to is just a bonus. And I also love that it also comes with yoga videos. I may be experiencing a placebo effect, but I'm feeling happier already just after 3 weeks of finding this service! Haha"

"I have been using online-therapy for 4 months now and I've had a positive experience so far with my therapist and have been introduced to techniques that have helped me to cope with my mental struggles. Filling out the worksheets and getting prompt feedback from my therapist has helped me investigate the thoughts and feelings behind my worries. The online-therapy dashboard/therapy toolbox is great as I can access worksheets, yoga/meditation videos, journal and action plan all in one place. The only improvement is the messages and feedback/responses are listed in chronological order, so you have to scroll down to view the most recent response, which can take a little time if you have a long email chain. It would be easier if responses were listed in reverse chronological order. Also it would be great if there was an option to 'save' worksheets without it automatically sending it to the therapist."
