Online Anxiety Therapy in Oregon
Individual therapy for adults in Oregon
Are you functioning, but starting to notice your anxiety spilling into everything?
Maybe it’s the mental replay of your day as you’re trying to fall asleep or perhaps a text that goes unanswered, and your mind fills in the blanks.
You may be internalizing everything, trying to smooth things over, or simply staying busy on purpose because uncertainty feels unbearable. Even when nothing is technically “wrong,” you still feel on edge.
Even when you’re functioning, the cost is real. Anxiety starts quietly leaking into your focus, your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of self.
Whatever brought you here, you’re beginning to notice the impact everywhere:
Work: overthinking decisions, overworking to the point of exhaustion, perfectionism, trouble “clocking out.”
Relationships: people-pleasing, mind-reading, reassurance-seeking, feeling responsible for others’ reactions, zoning out from overload.
Your sense of self: tension, fatigue, racing thoughts, self-criticism, and a nervous system that won’t fully come down.
It may feel impossible now, but you can learn how to stop living like everything is an emergency. You can do high-pressure work and be present with your loved ones. You don’t have to white-knuckle it through alone.
Anxiety Therapy can help!
Anxiety Therapy helps you do 4 things:
Break the “prove yourself” cycle
We’ll work on getting you out of the replay/what-if spiral so you’re not running a full mental shift review in bed or scanning for what you missed.
Turn down the mental noise (especially at night)
If your anxiety runs on fear of messing up or needing people to approve of you, we name that loop and loosen it so your drive isn’t powered by dread or perfectionism.
Stop the crash-at-home pattern
When anxiety fuels overworking, you often come home numb, irritable, or checked out. This isn’t because you don’t care, it’s because you’re tapped out. We build a “downshift” plan so you can transition out of work mode and show up at home with more than fumes.
Build boundaries without guilt or panic
This includes learning how to disappoint people without spiraling, how to stop over-explaining, and how to choose what matters instead of trying to manage everyone’s reaction.
HOW I CAN HELP
I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to anxiety therapy comes from a place of nonjudgment and collaboration: I don’t see you as “broken” or “too much”. I see your nervous system learned to stay ahead of danger by staying ahead of everything.
My work draws from an integrative, trauma-informed framework that blends:
-
What it targets: Anxiety that lives in the body. I.e. being on edge, wired, tense, and unable to fully come down.
What it looks like: We track your early warning signs (tight chest, racing thoughts, shallow breathing, irritability, urge to control or avoid) and practice simple, body-based tools that bring your system back into a more regulated state without forcing you to “talk yourself out of it.”
What changes: Over time, you build a real off-switch! You recover faster after stress, feel steadier under pressure, and your mind can think clearly again because your body isn’t stuck in alarm mode.
-
What it targets: The protective anxiety patterns that keep looping. This could be overthinking, control, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and harsh self-criticism.
What it looks like: We get curious about the parts of you that are trying to keep you safe (the planner, the fixer, the pleaser, the inner critic) and we work with them instead of fighting them. This helps you understand why the anxiety shows up and what it’s trying to prevent.
What changes: Those parts don’t have to run the show. You gain more self-trust and choice, so you can set boundaries, tolerate uncertainty, and move through life without constantly managing fear or other people’s reactions.

EMDR can help when anxiety isn’t just “stress,” but an old alarm system that keeps getting triggered.
Together, we identify the moments your system learned “something bad is about to happen,” and we target the patterns underneath the spirals. EMDR helps your brain and body update those stuck reactions so anxiety doesn’t keep hijacking you in the present.
Example topics:
Fear of messing up
Fear of rejection, or always needing certainty.

Common questions about therapy for anxiety

-
That’s actually common for high-functioning adults. Many past experiences focused on coping skills instead of understanding why your anxiety exists in the first place.
My approach combines nervous-system awareness, relational insight, and experiential processing so you’re not just managing symptoms, you’re healing the patterns underneath them. -
Not at all! We’re not taking away your ambition; we’re helping it stop running on fear. You’ll still be capable and motivated, just no longer fueled by exhaustion or self-criticism.
