Online anxiety treatment
Calm the constant worry with therapy, medication or both, from a practitioner who takes the time to understand you.
How can therapy and medication help with anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. When worry becomes constant, keeps you up at night or stops you doing things you care about, it may be an anxiety disorder, and it is very treatable.
We'll start by understanding what triggers your anxiety and how it affects your body, thoughts and daily life. Then we'll build a plan together, using proven therapy approaches, medication when it helps, or a combination of both.
- Medication management. Some medications can lower the volume on anxiety so it is easier to cope. We'll go over the benefits and side effects and check in regularly.
- Talk therapy. Learn to notice anxious thoughts, calm your body and slowly face the situations you've been avoiding.
- Both together. Combining therapy and medication often brings the most relief, and you can do both in one place.
