Online Therapy for Phobias

When your brain says “danger!” but your logic says, “I know this isn’t actually dangerous.”

Phobias can feel incredibly frustrating. You know the fear doesn’t totally make sense, but your body reacts like it’s a five-alarm fire. Whether it’s a fear of flying, driving, elevators, vomiting, needles, animals, thunderstorms, or something more unusual—phobias can quietly shrink your world. You might find yourself going out of your way to avoid situations or places, and that avoidance can slowly start running your life.

The worst part? People around you might not get it. They may brush it off with, “Just face it!” or “It’s not that bad.” But if it were that easy, you wouldn’t still be searching for help.

In therapy, we treat your fear with respect—because your nervous system is doing what it thinks it has to do to keep you safe. I use a compassionate, step-by-step approach that draws from exposure therapy, CBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices. We’ll work at a pace that feels safe, starting with small shifts that help you gradually build trust in your ability to face your fear.

This isn’t about “snapping out of it.” It’s about rewiring how your brain and body respond so that fear doesn’t get to be in the driver’s seat anymore.

If your phobia has been quietly (or not-so-quietly) running the show, it doesn’t have to stay that way. I offer online phobia therapy across North Carolina—including Greensboro, Elon, and Winston-Salem—so you can start working through your fear in a place that feels comfortable and in your control.
