Online anxiety therapy in Boca Raton

Anxiety that looks fine from the outside

Plenty of anxious people are the ones others rely on: the reliable colleague, the parent who handles everything, the student with the high GPA. Underneath, there’s overthinking, self-criticism and a body that never quite switches off. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that about a third of U.S, adolescents and adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point, so if this sounds familiar, you are far from alone.

Achieve Growth Therapy describes helping people who seem to have it together but feel like they’re barely holding on, including professionals under high pressure. Artie works with children, teens and adults. Its anxiety work starts with small, measurable goals to ease symptoms, then moves to the patterns that keep anxiety going. He also treats related concerns such as trauma, depression and panic when they show up alongside anxiety.

Anxiety counseling should fit the problem you want to change

Whether you call it anxiety therapy or anxiety counseling in Boca Raton, start with the same question: what would you like to be able to do differently? That might mean sleeping without hours of rehearsal, attending a meeting without avoiding it, or spending less time checking for reassurance.

If panic is what brought you here

Repeated panic attacks and fear of another attack deserve an assessment. CBT is one treatment option described by NIMH, but new or severe chest pain, breathlessness or other physical symptoms need medical evaluation rather than an assumption of anxiety. This referral is not for urgent medical assessment or an intensive program.

Online care with a named therapist

Online therapy can remove the commute, not the need for clinical fit. Achieve Growth Therapy is based in Orlando and offers telehealth across Florida. This site focuses on anxiety. Accepting new clients.

Who this therapy is for

Artie Gately, LMHC, works one-to-one with children, teens and adults who are located in Florida. He is accepting new clients. Most people who find this site are dealing with worry, panic or stress that has started to run their days, and anxiety often travels with other concerns he also works with:

• Panic attacks and phobias
• Low mood or depression alongside anxiety
• Anxiety that began after a frightening event, including PTSD
• Grief, loss and distressing memories
• Performance or self-esteem worries tied to past experiences

Approaches include CBT, EMDR (he is EMDR-trained), Solution-Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy. All sessions are online therapy by secure video; there is no Boca Raton office.

Working from Boca Raton
