Online Anxiety Counseling for Adults
Have You Ever Felt That Anxiety Was Taking Over Your Life?
Do you ever want to shut your brain off from the relentless conversations that cycle over and over in your head? Do you have trouble concentrating in your day to day life or have trouble focusing in conversations? Has your fears created endless”what ifs” and you get stuck in a worry loop that keeps you up at night?
Anxiety can feel like you're trapped on a never-ending roller coaster, and not the fun kind. The worries, fears, and doubts seem to take over, making even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming. Living in this state of anxiousness can be exhausting, chaotic, and yes—scary.
It’s easy to start feeling shame or self-doubt when anxiety becomes overwhelming. The critical self-talk that anxiety fuels often isolates you, making it seem like no one else could possibly understand what you're going through.
But you're not alone.
Many people experience anxiety at some point. Whether it’s triggered by life changes, stressful events, or relationship struggles, anxiety can quickly become a barrier to fully enjoying life. The good news? It’s treatable.
When anxiety starts to interfere with your daily life, it's important to address it. Have you noticed yourself avoiding social situations, replaying negative experiences, or feeling a sense of dread that won’t go away? If these symptoms sound familiar, know that there is help available—and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Adults With Anxiety
Many people feel anxiety at some point or another. Life changes, stressful events, and relationships can cause anyone to feel anxious. Anxiety needs to be addressed when it starts to get in the way of your everyday living. Have you noticed that you isolate yourself more, having excessive thoughts about unpleasant encounters or experiences?

Coparenting Anxiety: Navigating Conflict With Your Ex
Do you feel a sense of dread or anxiety whenever you have to interact with your ex? Do you sweat or even have palpitations before you have to meet your coparent for an exchange. Does it feel like every conversation brings out the worst in you, or leaves you emotionally drained and frustrated?
You're not alone.
Many people in high-conflict coparenting situations experience intense anxiety that makes it hard to stay calm and collected during interactions with their ex. Frankly, it’s hard as hell and even the best of us would have a hard time maintaining our composure.
It’s normal to want calm, productive communication when coparenting, but constant conflict can make that feel nearly impossible. Anxiety can start to take over, preventing you from engaging in healthy ways and affecting not only your interactions with your coparent, your own well-being, and also your child’s.

Anxiety Within My Relationship
Have you felt anxious in your relationship? Have you questioned how your partner feels about you? Do you feel like you are starting to question everything about your relationship?
Does he love me? Am I enough for her? Does she care about me or only what I bring financially to the relationship? Is he interested in someone else?
No matter what where you are in your relationship-new or long term- These feelings of anxiety and swirling questions happens very often and is very common in relationships. Having doubts can trigger anxiety that make you question if this person is right for you or if the connection is genuine.
When anxiety comes in and takes over, your anxiety and create a cycle of fear, insecurity, and an excessive loop of irrational thinking. Your worry has snowballed in to overanalyzing or even scrutinizing anything your partner does or says.
You love being with this person and they seem to be just as into you but you can’t shake the feeling that they will bounce if someone better comes along. You text them all the time throughout the day but they don’t always respond right away.
You love when you cuddle or are intimate with each other but your partner is slow to initiate physical contact.
Are these things normal? YES! Does this show up in other relationships? YES!
This can become an issue if your life, thoughts, and actions are consumed by your worries regarding your relationship.
A healthy relationship should make you feel loved, happy, supported, and secure. Everyone wants their relationships to be rainbows and unicorns at all time. But in general we know that things happen and our relationships will be affected. When you fixate on the times it’s not all cupcakes and sunshine the fear of not having a perfect relationship can be paralyzing.
Have you become fixated on:
issues in the relationship but avoid communicating your concerns
worrying a lot about things that have never happened but you fear them happening
When you don’t address your concerns in a constructive way and your anxiety continues to create fears and doubts it can cause you to sabotage the relationship. You pick fights because of insecurity, you deny your partner affection or connection, you deny your true feelings and say “nothing is wrong”. Testing your partner to see if they “truly love you” can create more insecurity and anxiety because you may constantly use this tactic to feel secure.
