Making Online Therapy for Anxiety Work into Your Lifestyle

Your time is valuable, and you’ve got so much going on. I understand it is not always easy to drop everything to get away to an office for an appointment.

Having your therapy appointment online is not what you typically think of when you think of going to therapy. But it has proved to be very successful when treating stress, overwhelm, and anxiety

I specialize in providing online therapy for stress and overwhelm and anxiety treatment to women. My specialties include therapy for women experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and burnout. If you’re interested in learning more about getting started in therapy or scheduling your free 15-minute consultation check out these options.

Skip the Bumper to Bumper Traffic in the DMV

The hustle and bustle feeling that is alive and well in the DMV can lead to increased stress and anxiety. Teletherapy in Maryland has been a great addition to therapy services. It has made connecting with clients so much easier. And at times, more effective in working with my clients on their stress management and anxiety treatment.

I understand the struggle of working in Rockville or Columbia and sitting in traffic on 270 or 70. Leaving home by 4 or 5 PM just so you can make it to Frederick by 6 PM (hopefully) for your therapy appointment. The DMV traffic is ridiculous (talk about anxiety-provoking). With the option of online therapy in Maryland, you can now skip the outer loop traffic in rush hour to make sure you get to your appointment.

It is convenient to be able to have your therapy appointment from your home or your office on your time. Not only does Telehealth allow you to skip out on the stress of sitting in traffic to get to your appointment. You can also have therapy while on vacation elsewhere. Taking in the fun and beach at Ocean City or spending time on the lake at Deep Creek Lake. You can show up for your online therapy session, and continue taking care of yourself.

Easily Bring Fido into Your Session to Help Ease Your Anxiety

One of the best parts of being able to do online anxiety therapy from home is being able to bring your dog, cat, or any other pet into the session. Your pet can help ease your stress, and calm your anxiety.

As a dog mom, I love when my clients bring their pets into the online therapy room.


What is Online Therapy?

Simply put, it’s therapy that can be done from the comfort and convenience of your own space. It has also proven to be just as effective as going to therapy in an office environment.
