Anxiety can show up with several other emotions that we don’t always think of as “anxiety.” If you’re dealing with anger, fear, agitation, short temper, frustration, helplessness, guilt, or worry, these can all be aspects of anxiety. There are definitive techniques that you can learn to help your brain and body learn to release anxiety and allow your body to calm down. Anxiety often leads to depression, and the two become entwined. As soon as anxiety is triggered, depression worsens. The dark days of winter are always more challenging for us. Call, and let's talk about ways to feel your best!

You’ve always appeared strong and capable. Holding it together for your job, your family, friends, and the world. But on the inside, you feel overstimulated, emotionally shut down, or quietly unraveling. Maybe you've always felt different. Intensely sensitive, hyperaware, prone to burnout, or overwhelmed by things others seem to breeze through. You might identify as neurodivergent or highly sensitive, even if you’ve never had a formal label. Maybe you feel anxious and on edge. You grew up around emotional chaos, unreliable caregivers, or pressure to be perfect. Now it's showing up in your body, relationships, and self-worth.

Buddha once wrote "What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now". You might be feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or the strain of difficult relationships—and maybe there’s a lingering sense that something in your life needs to shift. You’re not just looking to feel “better,” you’re seeking real tools to manage your emotions, find steadiness in an uncertain world, and begin healing from the wounds you carry. Deep down, you’re longing to feel more connected to yourself, to experience more meaningful relationships, and to create a life that feels fulfilling, grounded, and true to who you are.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
