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.

"When I stalled out working with a traditional therapist, I thought I'd try this.

It's been very helpful to give awareness of the actual messages in my head, and how to answer/counter them.

Now, instead of talking over and over about how my childhood experiences cause me problems, I have some tools to help move beyond them. Thank you!"

"I have struggled with maintaining therapists because of my employment status. Finding an option that considers my income and prevents me from having to find new providers every time I move has been incredible.

I was fortunate to find a therapist I connected with after just one meeting, but I also realized that changing therapists is not a complicated process. Sometimes you don't click with someone, and it can be challenging to continue searching. Knowing that trasition is simple gives me the confidence to keep investing in my mental health and wellbeing.

I have always had difficulty journaling (my rational brain knows its value but the emotional brain feels stumped), but this platform's format of questions has made it much easier to feel the emotional benefits.

Thank you online-therapy.com"

"Love Amanda Laflamme my therapist. She is easygoing, easy to talk to, understanding but also isn’t scared to call me out or ask me tough questions. Just from doing most of the worksheets and one session with her and I feel 100x better. Just one session and already implementing her strategies and it’s immediately working. I’m so grateful I did a Google search and found this website. Thank you Amanda and Online-Therapy! Thank you so much!!!! Really looking forward to the rest of my journey working with her!!!"
