Online Therapy for Caregiver Burnout and Chronic Stress

When taking care of everyone else means there’s nothing left for you.

Being a caregiver—whether for a parent, partner, child, or loved one with health needs—can be both meaningful and incredibly draining. You might be the one who holds it all together, who anticipates every need, who shows up day after day. But behind the strength is exhaustion. Maybe even resentment. And definitely a sense that you’ve lost touch with your own needs.

Caregiver burnout doesn’t just show up as tiredness. It can look like irritability, brain fog, guilt, anxiety, sadness, or feeling emotionally numb. You might be wondering, “How long can I keep this up?” or “Why does it feel so hard when I love the person I’m caring for?”

Let me say this clearly: burnout is not a sign of failure. It’s a sign that you’ve been giving everything you have without enough support.

In therapy, we’ll focus on you—your feelings, your limits, your identity outside of caregiving. I use a compassionate, trauma-informed approach grounded in CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help you reconnect with yourself and build strategies for care that includes your well-being, too. We’ll explore boundaries (the kind that are actually doable), emotional regulation, and permission to ask for help.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone. I offer online therapy for caregiver burnout and chronic stress across North Carolina, including Greensboro, Elon, and Winston-Salem. And yes—you can show up to sessions feeling completely worn out. That’s kind of the point.
