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've had a positive experience working with Vanessa. She's been warm, approachable, and easy to talk to.

I appreciate how she listens without judgment and gives me the space to explore my thoughts and feelings openly. I came into therapy already working through some things on my own, and Vanessa has been a supportive and encouraging presence throughout that process.

Our conversations have given me a space to talk through what's happening in my life, reflect on my progress, and feel heard, particularly at times when I've felt alone. She's been encouraging and happy to see the progress I've made, which I've really appreciated.

I'm glad I found Vanessa and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, and understanding therapist."

"The ease of switching between therapists is really convenient. I enjoy the messaging system and the worksheets. The costs isn’t so bad considering I don’t have insurance. Not too pushy with upgrades and add-ons. I do with the default was 60 minutes instead of 45."

"Where I am, therapy is really expensive as well as inaccessible. With online therapy, not only is it a more affordable option, but it's also with a therapist I really grew to enjoy and benefit from my sessions with her. Would recommend, especially if you were in a similar position as me."
