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'd never heard of this platform until my therapist moved here from Talkspace. I have found all of the value added worksheets, journals and the weekly (vs. monthly) live sessions to be both reasonably prices and hugely helpful. The platform works well and customer support is great."

"I can’t recommend Marisa highly enough. When I started therapy, I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of overthinking. Marisa created such a supportive and understanding space where I felt genuinely heard and understood.
She helped me work through some difficult emotions and, most importantly, helped me recognise that my feelings were valid. Through our sessions, I gained clarity, confidence, and a much kinder perspective towards myself. What once felt like a whirlwind of thoughts became much easier to understand and navigate.
I’m leaving therapy feeling far more optimistic about the future and much more confident in the decisions I’m making. Marisa has played a huge part in helping me get to that place, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance, compassion, and insight."

"I think this is a good start into therapy. Especially as someone who has had a lot of trouble finding an available therapist. It can definitely be a good way to dive into who you are and why you are the way you are."

"Only just started a couple weeks but so far so good. I like being able to message when I want to. And the flexibility of making my appointment and how I want the appointment to take place."

"The help and support I have received from my counselor has really helped me take account of what is going on in my life. The combination of worksheets and live sessions have made a difference in showing me ways to better my thought processes and enhance my day to day life."

"So far, after 3 sessions of our first ever couples therapy we are making big progress in organizing and making sense of our conflicts and where we don’t get along. However since I don’t have any prior experience to compare it to i cannot give 5 stars. What i can say is that my therapist has been great at listening to us and cutting through the noise to get to the root of things and begin mending the wound"
