How TherapyCan Help
Imagine being able to feel present in your relationships and responsibilities instead of constantly overthinking, doubting, fearing, and ruminating on worst-case scenarios. Understanding where your anxious thoughts are coming from will help you to build the life you ultimately want to have, whether that includes feeling more present and able to enjoy experiences or defeating social anxiety so you can build that supportive community you’ve always wanted. Through the use of a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, you will leave therapy feeling more present in your life, comfortable in your relationships, confident in yourself and able to actually enjoy your experiences.
Anxiety will no longer stop you from living the life you want to live
The young adult years are full of change, decision making, self exploration and, most of all, uncertainty. It’s normal for this to lead to stress, overthinking and self-doubt. Therapy provides an unbiased and supportive space to learn more about yourself while working towards finding peace, clarity, direction and calm (even in the midst of chaos). Throughout therapy, we will work together to understand the stress in your life while developing healthy and effective ways of managing and healing from anxiety.
Whenever you are ready to take the next step, schedule your complimentary 20 minute consultation call.
How do I know if my anxiety is interfering with my academic performance or work?
It’s normal to feel occasional stress before exams, deadlines, or presentations. But if anxiety is constant, overwhelming, or starts affecting your daily functioning, it may be time to seek support. Signs include: difficulty concentrating, procrastinating because tasks feel unmanageable, trouble sleeping before school or work, frequent physical symptoms (like stomachaches or headaches), or avoidance (skipping class, avoiding emails, or putting off responsibilities). If anxiety is making it hard to show up as the student or professional you want to be, therapy can help you reset and reclaim focus.
Can college students in Ohio use virtual/online counseling and is it covered by insurance?
Yes! College students anywhere in Ohio can meet with a licensed therapist virtually, as long as the therapist is licensed in the state. Many insurance plans do cover virtual sessions, especially since telehealth has become much more accessible in recent years. If you’re not sure whether your insurance covers online therapy, you can call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about “outpatient mental health telehealth benefits.” Some students also use self-pay options if they want more flexibility or privacy.
