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 signed up because I was heading down a road filled with negativity, but Angela Selvaggio helped prevent that. I was sure I was going back to my bad habits and behaviors so I signed up so I can manage them. Through the worksheets and sessions with Angela I have been able to manage my feelings and bad habits. I found this site useful and my therapist, Angela, very helpful."

"This is the best online therapy provider I have come across. The course alone that you do alongside therapy is incredible. I am making so much progress in as little as 3 months. My therapist is top notch and price wise, I could never get anything this affordable so I really feel lucky to have access to a service like this. Thank you Online-Therapy"

"Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns) is an amazing counselor! I had to switch counselors ( was an effortless process through this website) and I’m so glad I did and found Vanessa. Had I known that processing the past, validation and reflection would have been so beneficial I would have not hesitated before. The new ground I’ve gained through this website and through Vanessa for my mental and emotional health was worth every penny!"

"This service is excellent for people who have never tried therapy before. It's an easy way to get into it and talk to a professional about how you're feeling. I only joined for 4 weeks but that was enough for my personalised therapist to talk through how I was feeling, help me think about things differently and provide good coping mechanisms. I would recommend this site to a friend 100%."

"I enjoy the ability to write to my therapist and get replies. This works for me. I write out how I feel, what I am going through. I’m more comfortable this way. Not a big talker. This site gives you options. There are different tools you can use. Pick and choose. Customize to your needs. I find this online therapy actually is helpful."
