What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than occasional stress. It’s when fear, nervousness, or worry become overwhelming and start interfering with your daily life. Anxiety may appear as constant “what if” thoughts, muscle tension, difficulty sleeping, or avoiding situations that feel too stressful.
Types of anxiety I commonly treat:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent worry about everyday things
Panic Disorder: Repeated panic attacks with intense physical symptoms
Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear of judgment or embarrassment in social settings
Specific Phobias: Strong fear of particular situations or objects
-
Common Anxiety Symptoms
Constant worry or racing thoughts
Restlessness or muscle tension
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Avoiding responsibilities or social situations
Panic attacks (fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness)
Next Step: If these symptoms resonate, online anxiety treatment may help — whether through therapy, learning coping skills for anxiety, or online anxiety medication management.

What Causes Anxiety?
Anxiety often develops from a mix of:
Genetics: It can run in families
Brain Chemistry: Imbalances in neurotransmitters like serotonin
Life Experiences: Stress, trauma, or major changes
Medical Factors: Certain conditions or medications can play a role
Myth Buster: Anxiety isn’t just “overthinking” or a sign of weakness. It’s a real condition that responds to treatment, including therapy and medication for anxiety.
When questions come up, an anxiety psychiatrist can help separate myths from science and guide evidence‑based online anxiety treatment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Anxiety medications work by balancing brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that influence mood, stress response, and relaxation. Depending on the type of medication, they may reduce excessive worry, calm physical symptoms like a racing heart, and make therapy more effective.
-
Many people benefit from weekly therapy sessions at the start. Over time, sessions may become less frequent as coping skills for anxiety improve and symptoms are managed more effectively.
-
Most therapists (such as counselors or psychologists) cannot prescribe medication. However, psychiatric providers — like nurse practitioners and psychiatrists — can prescribe and manage anxiety meds online when appropriate.
-
Yes. Licensed mental health professionals can evaluate and diagnose anxiety disorders. During an online anxiety evaluation, we’ll discuss symptoms, history, and how anxiety affects daily life to determine the best treatment plan.
