Anxiety Therapy in Florida and New York

Online Counseling for Chronic Anxiety, Panic, and Overwhelm

Anxiety can be paralyzing and is usually related to feelings of worry, irritability, difficulty concentrating, exhaustion and quick burnout at work or school, poor sleep, and muscle tension.


While some people may primarily experience anxiety as panic attacks or sudden surges of fear, others may experience it in more constant ways like perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance/procrastination, perfectionism, or feeling “on edge” all the time.


I provide online anxiety therapy for adults throughout Florida and New York, helping clients better understand their nervous systems, reduce overwhelm, and develop a healthier relationship with fear, uncertainty, imperfection, and stress.

What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety does not always look like obvious panic.


You might experience:

  • Constant overthinking
  • Difficulty relaxing
  • Racing thoughts
  • Panic attacks
  • Fear of making mistakes
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Muscle tension
  • Irritability      
  • Avoidance of stressful situations
  • Difficulty concentrating (or mind going blank)
  • Feeling emotionally exhausted
  • Physical symptoms like nausea, dizziness, or chest tightness


Anxiety may emerge after trauma, chronic stress, medical experiences, burnout, or major life transitions, but it may also develop gradually over time during development. The median age of onset of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, for example, is 30 years old but spread over a very broad range with some people reporting that they’ve experienced anxiety their entire lives.


Many people who privately struggle with anxiety remain high-functioning which adds to the confusion and self-doubt as to when to seek help or if what they’re experiencing is actually a problem.

Trauma and Anxiety Are Often Connected

While it can be a disproportionate reaction to something, I’ve almost never found anxiety to be “irrational.” It’s usually a case of your nervous system trying to protect you from a world it doesn’t logically  understand.


Past experiences can teach the brain that the world is unsafe, unpredictable, or emotionally overwhelming. Trauma, chronic stress, medical trauma, emotionally invalidating environments, or long-term instability can all contribute to persistent anxiety symptoms.


When this happens, in my opinion, real, effective treatment and recovery involve helping the nervous system feel safe enough to learn safety and security from experiences instead of continuing to assume danger is everywhere. Just “thinking positively” or distracting yourself until the moment passes isn’t usually enough.

My Approach to Anxiety Therapy

I use a trauma-informed approach to therapy that focuses on compassionately understanding your symptoms.


Depending on your needs, therapy may include:

  • Identifying patterns that maintain anxiety
  • Understanding triggers and nervous system responses
  • Building grounding and regulation skills
  • Processing traumatic experiences
  • Reducing shame and self-criticism
  • Exploring avoidance patterns
  • EMDR therapy when appropriate
  • Developing healthier boundaries and self-trust


The goal isn’t to eliminate all anxiety from your life. Anxiety is a normal human experience, but therapy can help reduce the intensity, frequency, and control anxiety has over your daily life. As I tell a lot of my clients, there’s a chance the thoughts and feelings never go away, but in those cases, you might still find that they are no longer majority shareholders in your “company”.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat panic attacks?

Yes. Therapy can help identify triggers, understand panic responses, teach skills for stopping panic attacks, and reduce the reactivity that causes them.

Is anxiety related to trauma?

It very often can be, but not necessarily. Many anxiety symptoms are connected to nervous system responses shaped by past experiences, but anxiety can also be caused or exacerbated by physical factors such as caffeine intake, thyroid problems, or poor sleep. An important part of anxiety treatment is to screen for physical causes.

Do you offer EMDR for anxiety?

Yes, when clinically appropriate. EMDR can be helpful when anxiety is connected to traumatic or distressing experiences, but I usually start with providing psychoeducation, teaching physical and mental self-regulation techniques, and assigning homework for in vivo desensitization so you have the skills and techniques to manage and reduce anxiety outside of therapy.

Do you work with generalized anxiety?

Yes, often. I work with clients experiencing chronic worry, hypervigilance, social anxiety, and professional burnout.

Is online therapy effective for anxiety?

For many people, yes. Telehealth therapy has been shown to be effective for anxiety and trauma-related concerns. It’s helped me work with people who normally wouldn’t have been able to fit therapy into their schedule.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes the first step is just recognizing that anxiety is taking up too much space in your life.
