Fears and Phobias Therapy via Telehealth
Understanding What’s Holding You Back

Fear is a natural part of being human—it helps keep us safe. But when fear becomes overwhelming or irrational, it can hold you back from living fully. Whether you’re dealing with specific phobias or persistent fears that interfere with daily life, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
What Are Fears and Phobias?
Fears are emotional responses to real or perceived threats. They can be protective and adaptive in certain situations. But when fear becomes persistent and excessive, especially in response to something that poses little or no actual danger, it may be classified as a phobia.
Common Types of Phobias:
-
Social Phobia (Social Anxiety)
-
Agoraphobia (fear of open or crowded spaces)
-
Specific Phobias (heights, flying, animals, needles, etc.)
These fears can trigger intense anxiety and lead to avoidance behaviors that impact your relationships, work, or overall well-being.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy provides a safe and compassionate space to understand your fears, uncover where they may be rooted, and begin the process of reclaiming your confidence and freedom.
In our work together, we’ll explore the thoughts and physical sensations that arise when fear shows up. We'll take a gentle but empowering approach to help you face fears in a manageable way, at your pace and on your terms.
Evidence-Based Approaches May Include:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
-
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
-
Psychoeducation about fear and how it works in the brain
-
EMDR (especially for phobias rooted in past trauma)
