Abby now

Your match is ready. Her name is Amy, and I think you’ll see why I picked her.

1:12

Tonight 1:12 AM

It’s 1am and my brain is running every worst case again. I’ve read everything about anxiety. Knowing why I spiral doesn’t stop the spiral.

That gap between understanding it and stopping it is exactly what the right therapist closes. You don’t need more information, you need someone who works with the loop itself. Want me to find her?

Yes. Someone practical. And mornings, before work gets loud.

Done. Amy S., LPC. She works with exactly this kind of looping anxiety, practical tools first, and she’s trained in EMDR if you want to go deeper. Morning video openings this week. Want me to introduce you?

What’s on your mind?

How matching works

Your conversations become your match.

Everything you tell Abby, how the anxiety shows up, what you’ve already tried, when you’re available, becomes the search. You never fill out a form.

I keep running worst-case scenarios

Sunday nights the dread starts

My chest gets tight in meetings

Be practical with me, give me tools

I cancel plans, then hate that I did

Mornings only, before work gets loud

Why can’t I just turn my brain off?

It’s not everything, it’s mostly the spiral

Good to know

Therapy for anxiety, explained.

Anxiety is the most common reason people start therapy, and the best-studied one. Here is what the work actually looks like, so you know what you’re walking into.

What actually worksCognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most researched treatment for anxiety: it teaches you to catch the thought loop and interrupt it. Exposure therapy works the fear directly. EMDR and ACT help when the anxiety has roots. Most anxiety therapists blend these around you.

Worry vs. an anxiety disorderEveryone worries. It becomes worth treating when the worry is louder than the thing you’re worried about: sleep suffers, plans get cancelled, your body stays braced. You don’t need a diagnosis to start, and you don’t have to be in crisis to deserve help.

Therapy, medication, or bothMany people manage anxiety with therapy alone. Some do best combining it with medication from a physician or psychiatrist. A good anxiety therapist will talk through both honestly and coordinate with a prescriber if you want one. Abby factors your preference into the match.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does Abby match me with an anxiety therapist?

You chat with Abby like you would with a friend. She learns how anxiety shows up for you, what you’ve tried, and the practical things like schedule and budget. When you’re ready, she searches the network and beyond, then brings you a shortlist of anxiety therapists with the reason each one fits.

What kind of therapy works best for anxiety?

CBT has the strongest evidence for anxiety and is usually the starting point. Exposure therapy is the gold standard for phobias and panic. EMDR helps when anxiety traces back to specific events, and ACT works well for chronic worriers. The right therapist often blends approaches around you.

How much does anxiety therapy cost?

Most therapists in the US charge between $100 and $250 per session. Therapists set their own rates, and Abby factors your budget into the match, including sliding scale options. The matching itself is free.

How long does therapy take to help anxiety?

CBT for anxiety is typically structured around 8 to 16 sessions, and many people feel movement in the first month. Deeper or longer-standing anxiety can take longer. A good therapist will tell you what to expect after the first session or two.

Can therapy help with panic attacks?

Yes. Panic responds especially well to CBT and exposure-based work: you learn what the body is doing, why it feels dangerous when it isn’t, and how to interrupt the cycle. Tell Abby panic is part of the picture and she’ll factor it into the match.

Can I use my insurance?

Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.

Does my therapist see my conversations with Abby?

No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro about how anxiety shows up for you so you don’t start from zero in your first session, and you review every word before it’s sent.
