Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by intense fear of public or open spaces. A person experiencing agoraphobia may have previously had a panic attack in public and may begin avoiding similar places or situations because of the fear that it could happen again.

Common places that are avoided include locations that may feel difficult to leave quickly, such as cinemas, churches, stores, or traveling by bus, train, or airplane. If you avoid situations like these due to fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you may be experiencing agoraphobia.

If this sounds familiar, it is important to know that many people learn ways to manage and reduce these fears. Our online therapy program is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured approach that focuses on the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and avoidance.

With guidance from your therapist, you can gradually begin facing situations that currently trigger fear. This process is done step by step and at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, many people learn new ways to respond to anxious thoughts, build confidence, and approach situations that once felt overwhelming.

As you continue working through these strategies, situations that once triggered panic can start to feel less intimidating. With practice and support, it is possible to regain confidence and participate more freely in daily life.

"I am only a couple weeks into this program and am enjoying it so far. I've had one session with my therapist, Shawn Matthews, and she has been excellent. I felt very safe to discuss my emotions and issues, and the worksheet feedback has been timely and very insightful. I look forward to trying out the yoga and meditation learning next."

"OnlineTherapy is a great way to get immediate access to high quality therapy. For me this has been a wonderful opportunity to start with therapy. Therapy has been very helpful for me. I am learning new tools and techniques to help myself, gain new perspectives and insights about myself and the world around me. I have the best therapist in the world and am so grateful for her highly valued support. The only challenge I have encountered so far is getting support with the platform when you need support. That proved to be complicated and I need to wait long and keep writing emails until a solution can be found. For therapy and the great platform itself I would totally give the full five stars! Thank you for this opportunity, I guess it was my only way of getting help soon and simple!"
