Overcome Your Panic Attack with Online Therapy

Panic attacks are characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear, accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pains, tingling sensations in your body and difficulties breathing. With these symptoms, it is understandable that you might think you are having a heart attack and seek help at the emergency room.

Usually, it is not possible to predict when or where a panic attack will occur. Panic attacks are not dangerous but they are still extremely unpleasant experiences every time they happen. Some people experience feelings of unreality, depersonalization and fears of losing control or going crazy.

Our therapy for panic attacks is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn how your body’s physical symptoms interact with your negative thinking patterns and behaviors to create and maintain your panic. This will help you to identify and change the distorted thinking and de-dramatize your symptoms and panics. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually expose yourself to and remain in situations that usually induce your panic attacks. Eventually you will be able to reverse the downward negative spiral and live your life free of anxiety and panic attacks.

"So far I have been working through my issues for a couple of weeks and I have already felt a change in being "aware" of my emotions and being able to understand them, instead of just feeling them and having it take over my entire day. That alone has helped me to manage some of the non-logical mood swings I have been having. And I want to say thank you for being someone I can talk to, since the average person would not be able to handle this constant stress on a daily basis. Truly thank you for giving me someone I can talk to. That alone is already making a difference for me. Thank you."

"I haven't finished the programme so can only speak for what I've done so far. But so far it's becoming helpful and making me question and improve my thought patterns. And it's helping me feel more positive and compassionate to others and myself."

"I have had such an awesome experience here. The worksheets are super helpful, and very well put together to give someone a clear cut path to self-analysis."

"I've been using online therapy for a couple of weeks and am extremely satisfied. The worksheets are very helpful and informative and along with the therapist comments, they really help me to be able to see myself from a different perspective. My therapist has been great and her feedback is always very helpful. She always responds quickly. The only improvement I feel online-therapy.com could make would be to have the 1 on 1 session be either over the phone or video chat. A 30 minute text session is too slow to really get into anything too deeply. That being said, I believe the fact that I am getting daily feedback and from my makes up for my what I feel is a sub-par session. I went to traditional therapy many years ago for a different issue and I think online has been better for me to be honest. I would probably rate this 4.5 - 4.8 stars if i could due to the lack of video chat, but I did read they are in the process of implementing such a feature. When they do I will upgrade to 2 sessions a week. For now I don't see a real benefit to doing that.

--> Thank you for your kind review. You are right, both video and audio only chats will be launched soon! /Online-Therapy.com Team"

"I've been doing the program for about a month and so far it has helped me out. I am able to actively receive feedback on my day to day habits and thought processes. My therapist asks appropriate questions and provides very helpful and non-judgmental suggestions."
