Anxiety & Phobia Therapy in Pennsylvania, Florida, & Vermont

Evidence-based, compassionate therapy for anxiety disorders and phobias — offered via telehealth

Anxiety can quietly (or loudly) take over daily life. Worry, fear, physical tension, and avoidance often develop as understandable attempts to feel safe — but over time, they can shrink your world.

At Onward Healing, we help individuals learn how to respond to anxiety differently, so it no longer dictates decisions, relationships, or goals.

Anxiety disorders and phobias may include:

  1. Generalized anxiety and persistent worry

  2. Social anxiety and fear of judgment

  3. Panic attacks or fear of panic symptoms

  4. Specific phobias (driving, medical, flying, vomiting, etc.)

  5. Avoidance of situations, places, or sensations

  6. Physical symptoms such as tension, racing heart, or shortness of breath

Evidence-Based Treatments For Anxiety Disorders & Phobias

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Treatment focuses on helping you gradually face feared thoughts, sensations, or situations — while learning to respond in ways that build confidence and flexibility rather than avoidance.

This may include:

  • Exposure to anxiety-provoking situations or sensations

  • Reducing avoidance and safety behaviors

  • Learning to relate differently to anxious thoughts

  • Building tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort

  • Practicing skills that support long-term change

Our goal is not to eliminate anxiety, but instead to reduce its control over your life.

Our Approach to Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety treatment at Onward Healing is:

  • Evidence-based – grounded in CBT and exposure principles

  • Mindfulness-informed – responding instead of reacting

  • Self-compassionate – reducing self-criticism and struggle

  • Trauma-informed – attentive to past experiences that may intensify fear

  • Collaborative – tailored to your values and pace

We focus on helping you move onward — living fully even when anxiety is present.
