Online Therapy for Agoraphobia

Category: Agoraphobia Online Therapy | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

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."

"Overall I believe the self-guided course and worksheets are useful and indicative of the different, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors I was exhibiting over the weeks.

I could have made more use of the Yoga, Activity Plan, Journal, and Messaging feature, but being able to talk to a live therapist once a week was very useful in getting me on the right path and ending up creating those tools on my own.

"I feel like doing this has not only confirmed some stuff with me that I already knew, but helped me realize stuff I wouldn't have without that extra perspective. I know i may never be truly ‘cured’ from my problems, but I know feel less that I'm truly broken, and that I have the ability to work towards chsnge."

"The tools are very helpful, the website is organized, the sessions are incredible. This online service made therapy accessible to me, since I live in a foreign country, and couldn't find (affordable) help in English."
