Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek psychological help. If you feel your heart racing, your thoughts constantly racing, or the world feels overwhelming, know that you are not alone, you are not exaggerating, and it’s not just “nervousness.” At our clinic, as psychologists specialized in Valencia, we offer online therapy for anxiety: an effective, accessible, and safe solution that allows you to work on your well-being from wherever you are, with the same warmth and professionalism as in-person sessions.
What Is Anxiety and How Does It Manifest?
Anxiety is a natural bodily response to stress or danger, but when it becomes intense or persistent, it can severely affect your quality of life. Its manifestations include:
- Physical symptoms: Racing heart, sweating, trembling, muscle tension, or difficulty breathing.
- Emotional symptoms: Restlessness, intense fear, irritability, or a feeling of losing control.
- Cognitive symptoms: Catastrophic thoughts, difficulty concentrating, or constant worries.
Situational anxiety vs. anxiety disorder: Situational anxiety arises in specific moments (like before an exam) and usually disappears after the event. In contrast, an anxiety disorder involves recurrent symptoms that interfere with daily life, such as in generalized anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks.
When to seek psychological help: If anxiety prevents you from enjoying life, affects your work, relationships, or sleep, or lasts for more than a few weeks, it’s time to seek support. Ignoring it can intensify your symptoms.
Important note: Anxiety is not a weakness, but a sign that your body and mind need attention. Acknowledging this is the first step toward change.
Does Online Therapy for Anxiety Work?
Online therapy for anxiety is a powerful tool supported by science. Studies, such as those published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, show that online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has comparable effectiveness to in-person therapy, with significant improvement rates in 70-80% of cases.
How anxiety is addressed in online sessions: Through secure video calls, the psychologist uses techniques like cognitive restructuring (to change irrational thoughts), gradual exposure (to face fears), and emotional regulation techniques (to manage stress). The sessions are interactive and tailored to your needs.
Advantages of online vs. in-person therapy:
- Accessibility: Connect from anywhere without traveling.
- Flexibility: More adaptable scheduling to fit your routine.
- Comfort: Being in a familiar environment reduces initial tension..
