Therapy and Counseling for Anxiety
Living with anxiety can feel exhausting and isolating. At Create Wellness Counseling, I offer virtual therapy and counseling for anxiety.

Common Anxiety-Related Disorders
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Generalized anxiety can arise in many situations, causing worry, irritability, muscle tension, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and sleep difficulties.
Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety is an intense fear of social situations. People often experience anxiety that leads to avoiding things like parties, classes, family events, phone calls, or even casual conversations in public.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder involves having panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. Afterward, people often worry about when the next one might happen, which can lead them to avoid places or situations where they fear another panic attack could occur.
How Counseling for Anxiety Works
what to expect
In our first session, we’ll review your background and discuss your anxiety symptoms. Together, we’ll set clear treatment goals and create a plan tailored to your needs. I use an integrative approach—drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness—to help you manage anxiety and feel more in control of your life.
You don’t have to keep managing anxiety on your own.
Whether you're dealing with constant worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety, support is available. I offer virtual therapy for anxiety across Michigan, including Jackson and surrounding areas.
