Online Anxiety Therapy in Chicago & Illinois

Find calm, clarity, and confidence with online counseling that meets you where you are.

Living with Anxiety Feels Exhausting

From the outside, it probably looks like you’ve got it together. But on the inside?

Your mind never stops.

It feels like you’re carrying a thousand thoughts at once, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t find the “off switch.”

Does any of this feel familiar?

  • You replay conversations in your head, worrying about what you said (or didn’t say).

  • You lie awake at night, exhausted but unable to shut your brain down.

  • Your body feels tense all the time — like you can’t fully relax, even for a moment.

  • You snap at people you love, then feel guilty afterward.

  • You worry about everything—the big stuff and the tiniest details most people wouldn’t even notice.

It’s like anxiety has seeped into every corner of your life — work, school, relationships, even how you talk to yourself. And it leaves you wondering: “Why can’t I just be okay?”

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. We get it — and we can help.

Anxiety Looks Different for Everyone

Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all. Sometimes it’s obvious, like panic attacks or constant worry. Other times, it hides in the background until you realize how much it’s impacting your body, mood, and relationships.

It might show up as:

  • Physical symptoms: headaches, chest tightness, stomach issues, racing heart, fatigue

  • Emotional symptoms: irritability, dread, guilt, numbness, mood swings

  • Mental symptoms: perfectionism, overanalyzing, “what if” spirals, negative self-talk

  • Behavioral symptoms: avoiding people, overworking, procrastinating, zoning out, struggling with boundaries

If any of this feels familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your nervous system has been working in overdrive — and therapy can help calm it down.
