The time spent in therapy is different for everyone. This can depend on your goals for therapy, whether your anxiety is generalized or situational, and how much your symptoms are impacting your daily life. My approach for anxiety is solution-focused, so I will bring in practical tools that you can use outside of session to begin learning how to manage your anxiety. Practicing these skills outside of therapy can help you achieve your goals sooner and decrease your anxiety symptoms in general. Some people prefer to be in therapy longer term to process their thoughts and emotions, and others are short term or as needed. I’m here to support you in whatever way you need.

I don’t typically assign structured homework, but we will talk about what you can be practicing outside of sessions to get the most out of your time in therapy. This might look like practicing new coping skills for anxiety, exposing yourself to situations to overcome anxiety, working through other areas that contribute to anxiety, etc. Our work will be tailored to your individual needs.

Yep! Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy. In some cases, online therapy is actually preferred over in-person therapy, especially if you struggle with social anxiety or feel anxious about starting the therapy process. Many people find it more comfortable to be in their own space and not worry about the hassle of commuting or adjusting their schedule to fit therapy in. Online therapy can be more convenient in many ways, and many people prefer online therapy for maintaining additional privacy and confidentiality.
