What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)?
Generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, goes beyond everyday stress. It often shows up as persistent worry, racing thoughts, restlessness, and difficulty relaxing.
It's an experience of the Central Nervous System and its symptoms often include a tight chest, a pit in the stomach, light headedness, nausea, and sweating. It feels like impending doom is looming large over your head and that the other shoe will drop at any moment.
In online individual counseling, we help you identify patterns that fuel GAD and provide practical tools to quiet your mind and body.

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Treats Anxiety
CBT for GAD (a new language!) is one of the most effective treatments available. It focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.
By learning to challenge negative thought patterns and practice calming techniques, you can reduce anxiety symptoms and feel more in control.
CBT vs. Behavioral Therapy: What’s the Difference?
Many people wonder about the difference between cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. Cognitive therapy focuses on changing anxious thought patterns, while behavioral therapy emphasizes actions that reduce anxiety in real time. CBT combines both, making it a comprehensive treatment for GAD.
GAD vs. Panic Disorder: Understanding the Distinction
Panic disorder and GAD are often confused, but they are not the same. Panic disorder involves sudden, intense episodes of fear or panic attacks. GAD is more constant, with ongoing worry and tension. Online counseling helps you understand these differences and find the right strategies for your symptoms.

"Terri is fantastic, amazing, incredible, awesome!!!! I miss her!!! She’s so good at what she does that I got better and don’t need therapy (for now—knock on wood!). I truly feel she was born to do this work. She is so genuinely caring and encouraging! I can’t say enough good things about her. She was above and beyond for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling and needs a kind ear, a professional mind, and a big heart! ❤ A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"

My role is to provide structure and support while guiding you through evidence-based practices like CBT. I’m not here to lecture, but to help you discover skills you can use every day. Together, we’ll make anxiety more manageable so you can feel more present and confident in your life.
On a personal note, I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder because I'm neurodivergent with ADHD. I describe it feeling like I have a volcano deep inside of me and I'm at risk of blowing more intensely and more frequently. I feel terror and hopelessness and when I blow I leave carnage.
I can teach you skills that will help you better manage your symptoms and make long-term changes that will improve your quality of life.
