Online Therapy for Anxiety in Northern Virginia

Anxiety doesn’t have to control you.

Things are not getting better. The anxiety you face everyday already has you feeling totally drained, and now on top of that, trying to find a therapist feels completely overwhelming. All of the thoughts constantly swirling around in your head are such a distraction. It’s hard to get your mind to calm down and focus on what you want.

How can you focus on other areas of your life when all of your mental energy is consumed by anxiety and overthinking?

  • You think about all the ways it could have been done differently in your head. These stories you create are never-ending and always include blaming yourself for not handling the situation better.

  • You worry about the future which leaves no room to think about what is actually currently happening in your life - let alone what you need or want for your life. You wish you had mental energy to put into other important parts of your life like your health and your relationships but you feel so drained.

  • You’re tired because your brain won’t turn off at night. You wake up in the middle of the night and your anxiety kicks back in preventing you from falling back asleep. Then you get anxious about how you can’t fall asleep and you know you’ll be even more tired tomorrow. This cycle happens every night.

  • Have you Googled it and you’re wondering if your anxiety has given you an ulcer or other medical issues? Maybe it’s stomach issues, maybe it’s headaches, or maybe it’s pain - anxiety can show up in so many different ways.

  • You’re worried how people are viewing you. You don’t want to be that person who worries all the time or misses out on life by being busy overthinking everything. You know others can tell you’re not doing well and have even suggested you talk to someone.
