Overcome Your Agoraphobia with Online Therapy

Category: Agoraphobia Online Therapy | Last updated: February 1st, 2022 | Reviewed and approved by:

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by irrational fears of public or open spaces. A person suffering from agoraphobia usually has previously had a panic attack in public and, therefore, avoids similar places or situations due to the fear of re-experiencing it.

Common places that are avoided are places that are difficult to easily escape like cinemas, churches, stores and traveling publicly by bus, train or airplane. If you avoid public situations like this due to the fear of having a panic attack and sometimes even isolate yourself at home, you might be suffering from agoraphobia.

If this sounds like you, please know you are not stuck; there are treatments that can help you. Our therapy for agoraphobia is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on the negative thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to your fear of having a panic attack and lead to avoidance. With the help of your therapist, you will slowly be exposed to real-life situations that cause your fear of a panic attack. While this may sound scary, it will be safe and will eventually help you overcome your fears. You will learn how to control your anxiety and to look at your fears in a more realistic light. As you progress through the treatment, the thought or experience of panic will become less petrifying. Eventually you will be able to cope with previously fearful situations so you can take control of your life again.

"I never felt like therapy was for me. I always took it as a form of weakness but after doing this for the past 2 months I feel like it has helped change me for the better. I always look forward to speaking with my therapist to get some things off my chest. I would definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with any type of mental illness"

"I think this platform is very helpful for people who are afraid of going in person to therapy, it is their first time trying therapy, or it is hard to work with their current schedule."

"This CBT Course has been very helpful for me. I have done CBT before but this has worked for me.

I think the blend of the worksheets, the videos and the notes are really helpful. I took the on line feedback only from the therapist, I wanted this as I felt this was the best way I would respond (i.e. small feedback notes, rather than weekly sessions).

The challenge for me will be to keep this up, especially when things don't go the well, if this happens I'll re subscribe for a refresher.

"I have been here for about a month and while I have previously had therapy, I needed to start again after reevaluating my life choices. The ability to choose a therapist that has matched my need and ability to research a bit about them has been helpful, as well as the ability to have a 1 on 1 video call as well. I am slowly building the structure I need to get out of the pits I have dug for myself from neglecting my own mental health and physical well being."

"I am a busy mom in middle management. Any time I take for therapy during business and mom hours makes me feel like I’m taking away time from the people that depend on me. That’s probably why I need it! But, also, online therapy allows me to work on me during downtimes that my kids are asleep and business is shut down. It’s how I wind down from a busy day and grow into a person who is working, living, AND healing. There’s no traffic or struggle to find a therapist who is close to work or home who also has open appointments that match my schedule. My therapist cares and helps me find the spaces in my head and life that need self care and emotional healing. This has really set me on a path of self discovery and continued focus on taking care of myself first so that I can be more present and enjoy my family."
