Anxiety Therapy
Offering virtual therapy in New York, New Jersey, & Florida
Feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in your own head?
Anxiety can take over your thoughts, your emotions, and even your sense of self — but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Working with a therapist who understands the complexities of anxiety can help to foster self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence in navigating life's challenges.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a persistent sense of unease, confusion, and discomfort, often making it difficult to identify and process emotions. It can manifest as overwhelming worry, irritability, difficulty staying present, and intrusive thoughts that interfere with daily life. Many individuals experiencing anxiety struggle to access their full personalities, feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and overthinking. Whether it presents as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or obsessive thinking, anxiety can disrupt relationships, work, and personal fulfillment.
Who We Help
Offering Virtual Anxiety Therapy in New York, New Jersey, & Florida.
We work with individuals aged 16 and older, particularly those navigating the complexities of young adulthood. Our clients often include those experiencing:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Panic attacks and acute anxiety episodes
Obsessive thinking and intrusive thoughts
Anxiety related to life transitions
Challenges in friendships and family dynamics
A general sense of worry and overwhelm
No matter how anxiety is showing up in your life, we’re here to offer grounded, compassionate support that meets you where you are.
Our Therapeutic Approach
At HLH Therapy, we are relational therapists who believe that healing happens through authentic connection. Our work is individualized, drawing from:
Psychodynamic therapy helps us explore a client's upbringing, relationships, and attachments to understand how past experiences shape current emotional states, strengths, and struggles.
Trauma-informed CBT allows us to recognize how past experiences influence current worries, self-perception, and expectations of oneself and others.
DBT techniques are integrated when additional support is needed for self-regulation and distress tolerance.
We tailor your therapy based on your unique needs, story, and goals—never taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Sessions Are Like
Offering Virtual Therapy in New York, New Jersey & Florida
By slowing down and tuning in, we’ll begin to untangle these experiences and help you feel more grounded, self-aware, and empowered.
Therapy sessions are held virtually and typically last 45 minutes. Most clients meet weekly, though we offer bi-weekly options depending on your goals and preferences.
Some sessions might focus on recent triggers or moments of anxiety, while others take a more reflective tone as we explore themes and patterns over time. You don’t need to prepare or have a clear agenda—this is a space where you can simply show up and be met with curiosity, care, and insight.
In our work together, we often explore:
Chronic worry, overthinking, and internalized pressure
Panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or sudden waves of distress
Underlying beliefs like “I have to be perfect” or “I’m too much”
Relationship and social anxiety, including fear of judgment or conflict
Coping patterns such as avoidance, self-sabotage, or self-harm
Communication challenges and the difficulty of asking for support
Building emotional regulation skills and identifying healthier coping tools
Our Unique Approach
What sets us apart is the way we center relationship in everything we do. We’re not just here to teach you coping skills—we want to know you. We believe the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful space to experience what it’s like to be truly seen and supported.
By integrating psychodynamic insight with trauma-informed care, we help you understand not only what you’re feeling but why. Therapy becomes a space for both skill-building and deep personal growth.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Collaborating with Your Support System
While therapy centers on the individual, we also recognize that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When appropriate, we support clients in:
Navigating complex family or friendship dynamics
Improving communication and setting healthy boundaries
Identifying supportive people and resources in their lives
Making sense of how relationships impact anxiety and vice versa
Our goal is to help you build a support system that reinforces your growth, while respecting your autonomy.
What Clients Can Expect
Our therapy space is warm, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. You can expect to feel heard and supported, even when things feel messy or confusing. Over time, therapy can help you:
Better understand your anxiety and where it comes from
Break unhelpful cycles of avoidance, perfectionism, or overthinking
Learn concrete strategies for managing distress
Feel more connected to yourself and others
Build confidence and trust in your own emotional resilience
You don’t have to “fix” everything before showing up. We’ll figure it out together.
Adapting Therapy to Your Needs
We know that therapy needs to evolve with you. Throughout our work together, we’ll check in regularly and adjust our approach based on what’s feeling helpful—or not. This might include:
Breaking goals into smaller, more manageable steps
Increasing education around anxiety and its impact
Shifting modalities or integrating more DBT work if needed
Our goal is to ensure therapy remains aligned with your needs.
Long-Term Benefits of Anxiety Therapy
With consistent support, clients often experience profound and lasting shifts, such as:
A stronger sense of self and emotional awareness
Improved relationships and boundary-setting
Greater self-compassion and reduced shame
The ability to recognize and respond to anxiety without feeling consumed by it
Confidence in navigating life’s challenges with more ease and clarity
Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your life.
