When Anxiety & Insomnia Overlap
Anxiety can make it harder to fall asleep or return to sleep, while chronic insomnia can increase worry, irritability, and fear about the next night. Combined, natural sleep rhythms become disrupted as there is growing urgency and frustration about sleep. When both anxiety and sleep problemsare present, therapy can address the sleep patterns maintaining insomnia while also working on the broader anxiety cycle.
What to Expect
My approach is warm, direct, and practical. Sessions are collaborative and focused on understanding what keeps the problem going, then making changes that are realistic and useful in daily life.
What is Online Therapy?
Online therapy, also called virtual therapy or teletherapy, allows you to meet with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions instead of coming into an office. Sessions work much like traditional therapy, except you attend from a private space using your phone, tablet, or computer.
Online therapy can be a convenient, effective way have therapy without needing to commute to an office and without being limited to the therapists within driving distance.
