Specialization breakdown
What to expect from therapy in Los Angeles
Whether you're new to therapy or have tried it before, here's what working through this with a Los Angeles-based (or California-licensed online) therapist usually looks like.
Assessment session
Your therapist will assess the type and severity of your anxiety — generalized, social, panic, or specific phobias. This helps determine the best treatment approach.
Learning coping tools
Early sessions focus on immediate coping strategies — breathing techniques, grounding exercises, and thought challenging — so you have tools to use between sessions.
CBT or exposure work
Most anxiety treatment involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). You'll learn to identify anxious thought patterns and gradually face situations you've been avoiding.
Progress and maintenance
Most people see significant improvement in 8-16 sessions. Your therapist will help you build a maintenance plan to prevent relapse.
