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) is a widely used approach for understanding and managing anxiety. CBT focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. Many people find that the way they interpret situations can influence how anxious they feel.

Through online therapy, you can learn to recognize patterns of negative or unhelpful thinking and gradually develop more balanced ways of responding. CBT also helps you become more aware of the physical sensations and emotions that often accompany anxiety.

Together with your therapist, you may practice practical coping strategies and gradually approach situations that trigger anxiety in a structured and supportive way. This step-by-step approach can help many people build confidence and feel more comfortable facing situations that previously felt overwhelming.

"I have to say, using online-therapy has been extremely beneficial for my life. I am a busy grad student and healthcare worker who has been dealing with a lot of anxiety around my line of work and my daily responsibilities of someone who works/goes to school full time. My therapist and I tackled the root of the anxiety and focused on strategies of things I can do when I am feeling overwhelmed. Overall, i feel like I have become a more calm person. I think of my emotions before I react. I journal, I deep breathe. These are all habits I have learned through therapy, and I am so grateful to online-therapy for having a platform that makes therapy easily accessible."

"When I stalled out working with a traditional therapist, I thought I'd try this.

It's been very helpful to give awareness of the actual messages in my head, and how to answer/counter them.

Now, instead of talking over and over about how my childhood experiences cause me problems, I have some tools to help move beyond them. Thank you!"
