Chronic Anxiety
Chronic anxiety can leave you feeling on edge, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of worry. It can show up as a racing mind and a body overwhelmed by tension and fear.
I work with clients online, worldwide. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels manageable for you, developing ways to help you calm your nervous system and feel steady again.
Together, we will:
- Recognize your patterns of worry and understand what fuels them.
- Develop tools to calm your body and mind when anxiety takes over.
- Build a steadier, more grounded relationship with uncertainty.
- Restore your confidence and sense of control in daily life.
How chronic anxiety therapy works
Chronic anxiety often isn’t about any one worry – it’s a nervous system stuck in a loop of overthinking and physical tension, scanning for threats that aren’t there.
I draw on evidence-based approaches built to interrupt that loop and restore a felt sense of calm:
- Somatic & Body-Based Techniques: To release the physical tension anxiety leaves in your shoulders, chest, and stomach, and teach your body what “safe” feels like again.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): To understand the vulnerable “parts” of you that are trying to protect you and restore your sense of agency.
- Focusing-Oriented Therapy: To slow down racing thoughts and reconnect with what your body actually needs.
- Expressive Arts & Voicework: To find a release for anxious energy that talking alone doesn’t always reach.
Common questions about chronic anxiety therapy
What is chronic anxiety, and how is it different from everyday stress?
Everyday stress tends to fade once a specific situation resolves. Chronic anxiety persists as constant sense of worry, tension, or dread and often affects sleep, focus, and relationships.
How does online anxiety therapy work?
We meet by video, using the tools I’d use in person and adapted to online sessions, including body-awareness techniques, IFS, and Focusing, to help you understand and calm your anxiety at its root, not just manage the symptoms.
How long before I notice a difference?
Many clients notice more grounding and better coping tools within the first several sessions, while deeper, lasting change tends to build gradually as we work at your pace.
Do you offer support beyond individual sessions?
Yes, alongside individual sessions, I run a weekly online support group for people who want community and shared experience as part of their healing. Ask about our current availability.
