Beyond symptom management.
Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and one of the most commonly undertreated. Not because the tools don't work, but because coping strategies address the surface while the deeper drivers stay untouched.
Anxiety is a signal, not just a symptom. What is it protecting? What would it mean to let it go? What patterns in relationships, in self-perception, in the way you move through the world are keeping it in place? Those are the questions this work takes seriously.
For anxiety with OCD features or significant avoidance, evidence-based approaches like ERP and ACT are integrated when helpful. But they're tools within a broader framework, not the framework itself. The goal is understanding that lasts, not just techniques that temporarily quiet the noise.
A lot of clients who come here have already done therapy before, often CBT. They learned useful skills and still feel stuck. They're looking for something that goes further than functioning better.

Types of Anxiety
How anxiety shows up.
Relationship Anxiety
Anxiety that lives in close relationships, including fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, reassurance-seeking, or the chronic sense that connection is fragile. Often rooted in early relational experiences.
Health Anxiety
Persistent worry about physical symptoms, illness, or the body. Often worsened by chronic illness or a medical history that has taught your nervous system to stay alert.
Social & Performance Anxiety
Anxiety in social situations, around being evaluated, or about how you're perceived, often tied to deep patterns around worthiness, belonging, and the fear of being truly seen.
How It Works
What the work looks like.
Understanding the Pattern
Anxiety doesn't appear out of nowhere. The work begins with understanding when it started, what it responds to, and what function it has been serving, often as a form of self-protection that made sense at some point.
The Relational Dimension
Much of anxiety lives in early learned patterns around danger, approval, and closeness. The therapeutic relationship becomes a live space to notice and work through those patterns, not just talk about them.
Tools When Helpful
ERP, ACT, and other evidence-based approaches are integrated when they fit, particularly for anxiety with compulsive features or significant avoidance. They work best within a relational container, not in place of one.
FAQ
Common Questions
What kind of anxiety therapy do you offer?
Depth-oriented therapy that treats anxiety as meaningful rather than just symptomatic. The work explores what keeps anxiety going and what would need to shift for it to genuinely ease. ERP and ACT are brought in when they fit.
I've done CBT before. Is this different?
Yes. CBT is effective for specific symptoms. This work goes deeper, exploring the roots of anxiety and the inner world that coping tools alone can't reach. Most clients who come here have already done CBT and found it helpful but insufficient.
Do you work with anxiety and OCD together?
Yes. Anxiety and OCD frequently overlap. ERP is used for the compulsive patterns; the deeper work addresses what's driving them.
Is telehealth available for anxiety therapy?
Yes, across Texas and in New York via Attune Psychotherapy.
How much does anxiety therapy cost?
Sessions start at $175, with sliding scale availability. In Austin the practice is private pay. In New York, Aetna and Cigna are accepted through Attune.
