ANXIETY Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

​

​

​

 

 

 

+ How do I know if I need anxiety therapy? If anxiety is interfering with sleep, concentration, relationships, work, or simply becoming a nuisance, therapy can help you understand the underlying patterns and develop effective coping strategies.

+ Is virtual therapy effective for anxiety? Research shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for anxiety. Many clients appreciate the flexibility and privacy of meeting from home, private office, or car.

+ What is high-functioning anxiety? High-functioning anxiety refers to a pattern where someone appears successful, capable, and productive on the outside while experiencing significant worry, overthinking, or internal pressure. People with high-functioning anxiety often hold themselves to very high standards, struggle to relax, and may feel driven by fear of failure or disappointing others. While these traits can sometimes contribute to achievement, they can also lead to chronic stress, burnout, and difficulty feeling satisfied or at ease. Therapy can help individuals understand the underlying patterns that fuel anxiety while developing healthier ways to manage stress, expectations, and self-criticism.

+ How long does therapy for anxiety typically take? The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the patterns contributing to anxiety. Some clients benefit from short-term work focused on specific tools, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns.

+ Do high-functioning professionals experience anxiety? Absolutely! In many cases, people think that they 'need' anxiety to help them produce. However, many high-achieving adults experience chronic stress, perfectionism, or overthinking despite appearing successful externally. Therapy can help address these patterns while maintaining professional goals.
