Overwhelmed by Anxiety? You’re Not Alone.
Your anxiety is through the roof. You wake up every morning with a pit in your stomach—what used to feel like butterflies now feels more like moths. The overwhelm starts the moment your feet hit the floor. There’s too much to do, and you don’t even know where to start.
You try to hold it together, but by 8:00 a.m., you’ve already snapped. No one listens. Your to-do list keeps growing. Even the dog looks at you like, Where’s my food?
At work, you slip into your office, take a deep breath, and try to center yourself. You’ve got this, you tell yourself. But then the minutes slip away. Thirty minutes pass. Then an hour. And suddenly, you’re behind—again. The shame creeps in. Why can’t I get it together?
You sit in meetings, frozen. Everyone else seems so smart, so confident, so full of ideas. And you? You just agree and go along, hoping no one notices you. You keep your head down, wondering why your best is never good enough.
When you finally slow down, the anxiety and sadness come rushing in. Tears well up. Your face flushes. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts race: I’ll never get this right. I’ll never be enough. My life has always been chaos—will it ever get better?
You want peace. You want relief. But you have no idea how to get there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy in California
-
How counseling and therapy are similar
Psychotherapy and counseling are both treatments for mental health problems that involve talking with a trained mental health professional. You talk about thoughts, feelings and behaviors to understand them better and work in a collaborative way to promote mental wellness. The term psychotherapy is often used interchangeably with counseling, talk therapy or therapy. There can be a lot of overlap between psychotherapy and counseling.
How they’re different
Broadly speaking, counseling tends to be focused on one specific issue and considered a short-term treatment. You may learn coping techniques and problem-solve the issue together. Psychotherapy tends to treat a broader range of issues and more complex problems. It can be a long-term treatment.
Depending on the type of psychotherapy or counseling offered, goals can include helping people learn to cope with and better manage their responses to life's stresses, understand and change patterns of behavior that get in the way of their personal goals, have more satisfying relationships and feel more fulfilled.
What type of therapy is best for you?
If you’re trying to figure out where to start, it's helpful to reflect on your current difficulties and what you’re expecting from treatment before you get started.
Additionally, you can read about the different types of therapies available. Some therapies are better suited for certain conditions than others. Looking up the mental health professional's profiles to see their areas of expertise and training can also help determine who may be a good fit.
