Anxiety therapy services for adults in Florida

Offering virtual therapy sessions.

Are you frequently feeling anxious, worried, or scared? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by everyday tasks?

You might have been experiencing these feelings for a while, thinking they’re a normal reaction to the state of the world. Or maybe your anxiety has intensified because of current events. This constant tension could be affecting your ability to be present with your family, impacting your work, and making it hard to stop worrying about every detail of your life.

You might notice how this anxiety affects every part of your life: struggling to focus at work, feeling drained, ruminating on negative situations, or withdrawing from social activities with friends and family.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help.

It might seem daunting now, but you can reclaim a sense of normalcy and reduce your worries. CBT can teach you to manage negative and anxious thoughts, helping you feel like yourself again. Here’s how CBT can support you:

  • Identify the root causes of your problems

  • Understand how to make positive changes in your life

  • Learn tools and strategies to manage your life and empower yourself

I will guide you through this process, customizing each step to fit your unique needs and situation. My approach to CBT is rooted in hope and understanding because I believe everyone deserves happiness. Your anxiety and challenges don’t have to define your story.

Anxiety manifests differently for everyone. According to the DSM-5 (2013), “Fear is the emotional response to a real or perceived imminent threat, while anxiety is the anticipation of a future threat.” Just as we are all unique, our symptoms can vary depending on the situations we face. Anxiety isn’t always detrimental; sometimes it can motivate us to tackle tasks and confront challenges.

However, when anxiety becomes chronic and disrupts your daily life, therapy can offer valuable support. Through developing and applying coping skills, we can work together to reduce both the intensity and frequency of your symptoms, helping you manage your anxiety more effectively.
