Anxiety Attacks & Panic Attacks Therapy Via Telehealth

​

If you've experienced sudden waves of fear, racing thoughts, or overwhelming physical symptoms, you're not alone. Many people struggle with anxiety or panic attacks, and while they may feel similar in the moment, understanding the differences between them is key to effective treatment and healing.

​

​

What is an Anxiety Attack?

​

Anxiety attacks are typically tied to specific stressors or ongoing worries. They tend to build gradually over time and may be associated with excessive fear, worry, or nervousness about everyday situations.

​

Common Symptoms of Anxiety Attacks:

​

• Restlessness or feeling on edge

• Fatigue or trouble sleeping

• Difficulty concentrating

• Increased heart rate or shortness of breath

• Muscle tension

• Irritability

​

Anxiety attacks often occur in response to certain triggers—whether it’s work, relationships, health concerns, or life transitions. While distressing, they are generally manageable with the right support, tools, and therapy.

​

​

What is a Panic Attack?

​

Panic attacks come on suddenly and can feel overwhelming and intense. Unlike anxiety attacks, they may not always be connected to a clear trigger. Panic attacks often peak within minutes and can cause a real sense of danger or fear of losing control.

​

Common Symptoms of Panic Attacks:

​

• Rapid, pounding heartbeat

• Sweating or chills

• Chest pain or tightness

• Trembling or shaking

• Shortness of breath or choking sensations

• Nausea or dizziness

• Fear of dying or going crazy

​

Panic attacks can be incredibly frightening, especially when experienced for the first time. Many people fear they’re having a medical emergency, such as a heart attack.

How Therapy Can Help

​

Whether you're struggling with anxiety attacks, panic attacks, or both, therapy provides a safe and supportive space to better understand your symptoms and regain control.

​

As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with you to identify underlying triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop grounding tools and coping strategies that actually work. We may use evidence-based approaches such as:

​

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness-Based Therapy

• EMDR for trauma-related anxiety or panic

• Breathing and grounding exercises

• Psychoeducation to normalize and understand what’s happening in your body

You’re Not Alone

​

Living with anxiety or panic can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. Healing is possible. Therapy offers not just symptom relief, but a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need to feel safe, calm, and in control.
