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 highly recommend my assigned therapist, Stephanie Korchynski.

Her response times are great. She walks the line between keeping our video sessions personable, while maintaining professional boundaries with great skill. Her suggestions will feel slightly generic initially, but once you reflect on which aspects of your situation you wish to prioritize, her feedback is insightful and expertly tailored.

I'm grateful to have finally invested in myself, and to have been gifted with Stephanie's guidance. Having that external impartial lens has been very grounding.

"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."
