  • For many in communities of color, accessing mental health services can be difficult due to location, transportation, or even concerns about finding a therapist who truly understands their cultural experiences. Online therapy eliminates these barriers. You’re no longer limited to therapists in your immediate area. Instead, you have the ability to connect with licensed therapists across the state, ensuring that you find a professional who aligns with your needs and values. This expands access to therapy, making it easier to receive the care you deserve, regardless of where you live.

  • With online therapy, you don’t need to worry about commuting or taking time off work. You can attend therapy sessions from the comfort of your home or any location that works for you, at a time that fits your schedule.

  • Being in your own space can make it easier to relax and open up. Many people find it easier to talk about personal issues when they are in a familiar and comfortable environment, leading to more productive and honest sessions.

  • Online therapy gives you access to a diverse range of therapists, each with their own areas of expertise. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other mental health concern, you can easily connect with a therapist whose experience aligns with your needs. There’s no need to travel to multiple office locations—everything you need is available, providing you with greater flexibility and convenience in finding the right therapist for you.

  • Research shows that virtual/ online therapy, especially for anxiety, depression, and stress, offers the same positive results as traditional therapy. Online therapy gives you access to the same techniques and support, all from the comfort of your own space. While some situations may require in-person sessions, online therapy provides flexible, high-quality care that fits your life.

  • For many individuals in communities of color, seeking mental health support comes with additional challenges—whether it's stigma, lack of culturally competent therapists, or logistical difficulties. Online therapy reduces these barriers by providing access to a wider network of culturally informed therapists who understand your unique experiences. It also allows you to access care without the added stress of traveling or concerns about privacy.

  • Online therapy can feel less intimidating than in-person sessions. It removes the potential stigma of walking into a therapist’s office, making it easier for many people to seek help without feeling judged or self-conscious.

Understanding Anxiety and How We Can Help

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes chronic, it can interfere with daily life. It’s more than just feeling nervous—it’s a persistent sense of worry or fear that can affect your emotions, thoughts, and physical well-being.

Types of Anxiety

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Constant worry about many things; hard to “turn it off,” with restlessness, tension, or sleep issues.

  • Panic Disorder: Sudden panic attacks (heart racing, short of breath, dizziness) and fear of the next one.

  • Agoraphobia: Fear of places/situations where leaving or getting help feels hard (crowds, public transit), leading to avoidance.

  • Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear of being judged or embarrassed in conversations, meetings, or performances; avoiding social situations.

  • Specific Phobias: Strong fear of a particular thing or situation (flying, heights, needles, driving, animals).

  • Separation Anxiety Disorder: Intense worry or distress when away from loved ones or home (can affect adults too).

  • Selective Mutism (often in children): Able to speak in some settings (home) but not in others (school, public).

  • Anxiety related to substances/medications: Anxiety triggered or worsened by caffeine, cannabis, stimulants, steroids, or withdrawal.

  • Anxiety due to a medical condition: Anxiety caused by health issues (e.g., thyroid problems, heart conditions).

  • Other specified/unspecified anxiety: Significant anxiety that doesn’t fit one exact category.

  • Related concerns we support

    • Health Anxiety (Illness Anxiety)

    • Perinatal/Postpartum Anxiety

    • Performance/Test Anxiety

    • “High-Functioning” Anxiety (looks fine on the outside, overwhelmed on the inside)

If you see yourself in any of these, you’re not alone. We’re here to help.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety symptoms can vary, but common signs include:

  • Constant worry, even about small matters

  • Restlessness or feeling on edge

  • Difficulty concentrating or staying focused

  • Physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or dizziness

These symptoms can make everyday life difficult, from work to personal relationships, leading to feelings of frustration, exhaustion, or isolation.

How SHIFT Your JourneyHelps You Manage Anxiety

Our Therapeutic Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you recognize and shift negative thought patterns that contribute to depression.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaching emotional regulation and self-compassion strategies for mood stabilization.

  • Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques: Supporting you in managing difficult emotions and staying connected to the present moment.

  • Behavioral Activation: Encouraging small steps toward meaningful activities to rebuild energy, purpose, and joy.

Culturally Responsive Care That Sees You

Anxiety can show up differently across cultures, and for many in communities of color, there may be added layers of stress due to cultural expectations or systemic challenges. At SHIFT Your Journey™, we provide culturally competent care by integrating your unique experiences and values into the treatment plan to ensure the approach works for you.

A Note on Diagnosis and Next Steps

While online resources may provide helpful information, it’s essential to seek a professional diagnosis. Anxiety can be a symptom of other underlying issues, so a thorough assessment by a licensed mental health professional is key to receiving appropriate treatment.

Collaborative, Holistic Support

Depending on your needs, SHIFT Your Journey™ may work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide holistic care. This coordination ensures you receive the best support, tailored to your unique challenges.

What Relief Can Feel Like

For many, relief from anxiety means feeling more in control of daily tasks without the overwhelming weight of constant worry. It's about being able to enjoy moments without anxiety hijacking your thoughts. You may begin to feel less exhausted by your fears, more connected with others, and able to focus on what truly matters.

Take the Next Step with SHIFT Your Journey

Taking the next step with SHIFT Your Journey™ means gaining the tools and strategies needed to manage anxiety in a healthy way. It’s not about eliminating anxiety completely, but about learning how to face it with confidence and clarity. We’re here to help you build the coping skills necessary for lasting relief.
