Feeling agitated and anxious and becoming sad and tired due to pressure and setbacks is just natural. It is something that we all encounter in life. But if you feel that you can seldom or never control your anxiety and fear and that this has had long-term negative effects on your life, then you might be suffering from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

GAD is characterized by chronic worrying about basically every aspect of your life, including work, money, health and relationships. This can, in turn, lead to common anxiety symptoms like insomnia, tense muscles, headache, grinding of teeth, excess sweating, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, stomach problems and a need to urinate more often.

Our therapy for GAD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will learn how to identify the negative and irrational thoughts that cause your anxiety and replace them with positive and rational thoughts and behavior patterns. Using this GAD online therapy program you will learn relaxation techniques, problem solving strategies, ways to enhance your self-esteem and overcome your fears. Your therapist will help you to gradually expose yourself to situations that cause your worry, and eventually you will be able to do this feeling less anxious and with a greater sense of mastery. You will learn skills to take control over your worry, so you feel more empowered in life.

"I was a little afraid of beginning online therapy, but I knew I needed to find help. I live in an area of Canada which does not have many services such as this, so I am very grateful to have been matched with my therapist. We've had only two sessions so far, yet I already feel a little more hopeful. Online Therapy.com's support staff are also amazingly helpful. Thank you!"

"The worksheet/journaling is nice and having a face to face with the therapist to get some things off of my chest was amazing."

"Online-therapy.com allowed me to get immediately connected with a provider to get myself back in the right direction for my life. I like that it is a subscription service that I can cancel whenever I feel I am ready and come back if necessary. The worksheets helped me to realign my thoughts and decide what matters most."

"I have been very fortunate to find such a supportive and empathetic therapist as Dr Vicki. Her exercises, interaction via chat, email and video are extremely empowering. She puts a lot of emphasis on being there for her patients, which I really loved and am grateful for. She has really helped/guided me to come to my own conclusions whilst helping me to avoid catastrophizing. She really knows how to listen and make you feel heard, but also to recognise where behaviour comes from and the consequences and effects of your actions on yourself and others. She is a very well-read, hard-working and helpful therapist and I would recommend her to anyone who really wants to work on themselves."

"I found this website quite useful and my therapist is really good. I’ve tried a few other places for therapy but found this to be the best. Could use an app though. Rest is good!"

"I love this therapy platform so much.
It has features many other online therapy services don’t provide, like yoga videos and messaging between appointments. I love being able to see the chat history with my therapist because sometimes they document important realizations. I had an issue where I missed one week of therapy due to holidays and customer service added the missed session to my package for no extra charge. I have already recommended this to so many people. My therapist, Tessa, makes my recovery a priority and I trust she has my best interests in mind. I loved being able to choose a therapist based on my needs. Everything about this platform is so easy and helpful. I love it and it’s helping me so much."
