Fears and Phobias Therapy via Telehealth

​

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.
