When worry runs the show.
Therapy for generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety and health anxiety, online across California.
“I can’t turn my brain off at night.”
“I know it’s irrational, but I can’t stop worrying.”
“My chest gets tight and I feel like something terrible is about to happen.”
“I cancel plans because it’s easier than feeling this way.”
Your alarm system is working overtime.
Anxiety is your body’s built-in alarm. It’s supposed to protect you, but when it goes off too often or too loudly, it starts making decisions for you: what you avoid, how you sleep, who you see.
It can look like constant worry, sudden panic attacks, dread in social situations, or fear about your health. It’s one of the most common reasons people start therapy, and one of the most treatable.
- Worry that feels hard to control
- Racing heart, tight chest or an upset stomach
- Trouble falling asleep because your mind won’t quiet down
- Avoiding places, people or tasks that make you nervous
- Feeling on edge, restless or irritable
- Needing reassurance again and again
Here’s how we can help.
Anxiety responds well to structured, skills-based therapy. Most people notice a real difference within a few months.
What people often notice
How long does therapy for anxiety take?
It depends on you, but many people feel meaningful change within 8 to 16 weekly sessions of CBT. Some choose to keep going longer for deeper work.
Do I need medication?
Not necessarily. Therapy alone works well for many people. If you’re curious about medication, we can coordinate an evaluation.
Does online therapy work for anxiety?
Yes. Research shows video therapy works as well as in-person care for anxiety, and it can be easier to show up when you don’t have to commute.
Anxiety is very treatable. Let’s start.
Tell us a little about what’s going on. We’ll match you with a specialist in exactly this, verify your insurance for free, and most people have a first session the same week.
The science of feeling better, before it reaches your doctor’s office.
New mental health research is published every week, and most of it never makes it out of medical journals. Our specialists read it for you and send the findings that matter, with what they mean for real life.
