Online Anxiety Therapy for adults throughout Utah with Caitlin Moore, CMHC
What Anxiety Can Feel Like
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it is a mind that won’t turn off, a body that never fully relaxes, or the constant feeling that there is something you should be worrying about.
You may find yourself:
replaying conversations, decisions, or mistakes long after they’re over
running through worst-case scenarios and trying to prepare for everything that could go wrong
feeling restless, tense, or on edge even when things are going well
struggling to fall asleep because your mind gets louder as soon as everything else gets quiet
putting things off, avoiding situations, or over-preparing because uncertainty feels hard to tolerate
having trouble being present because part of your attention is always focused on what might happen next
experiencing anxiety physically through muscle tension, a racing heart, shortness of breath, nausea, or panic
You may even know that some of your worries are unlikely or out of proportion, and still have a hard time letting them go. When anxiety becomes a constant background presence, it can make everyday life feel much harder than it needs to.
How Anxiety Therapy Can Help
Anxiety therapy can help you understand what keeps your anxiety going and build new ways of responding when worry, uncertainty, or stress shows up.
Over time, you may notice:
less time spent worrying, overthinking, or replaying things in your head
more ability to handle uncertainty without immediately assuming the worst
feeling calmer and less physically tense or on edge
greater confidence making decisions without needing to be completely sure
less avoidance, procrastination, or over-preparing
more ability to stay present in your relationships and everyday life
greater trust in your ability to handle difficult situations when they come up
The goal is for anxiety to take up less space in your life, so you have more freedom to focus on what matters to you.
My Approach To Anxiety Therapy
I help clients build practical skills they can start using right away, alongside slower, deliberate work to understand what may be driving the patterns that keep getting in the way. We’ll look at what is happening now, what may have shaped those patterns, what keeps them going, and how we can help them change.
-
We’ll look at when anxiety shows up, what tends to trigger it, and what you do in response. This can help identify patterns such as overthinking, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, perfectionism, or trying to control uncertainty.
-
We’ll develop practical ways to respond to worry, physical anxiety, and overwhelm. Depending on your needs, I may draw from CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed therapy to help you manage anxiety without letting it dictate what you do.
-
Sometimes anxiety is connected to past experiences, deeply held beliefs about yourself, perfectionism, or relationship patterns. When that is the case, we can work more directly with those underlying experiences using approaches such as EMDR therapy and IFS-informed work.
-
As therapy progresses, we’ll focus on helping you tolerate uncertainty, trust yourself more, reduce avoidance and over-preparing, and make choices based on what matters to you rather than what anxiety is telling you to do.
Extended Sessions Available: Extended 80-minute sessions are available for clients who would like some extra time, which can be especially helpful for EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches.

Common Questions About Anxiety Therapy
-
You don’t need to wait until anxiety becomes severe. If worry, overthinking, avoidance, physical tension, or fear of making the wrong decision is taking up more of your time and energy than you want it to, therapy may be worth considering.
-
That’s a common experience, and it makes sense to be skeptical. Whether therapy helped before often comes down to whether the approach matched what was actually driving the anxiety. Talk therapy is great for building insight and coping skills, but for some people, anxiety has deeper roots in past experiences that insight alone doesn't always reach.
It may have been the approach, the fit with the therapist, or simply the timing. What makes a real difference is finding a therapist who feels like a good fit, an approach that's matched to what's actually driving the anxiety, and a pace that feels safe enough to do the work. Anxiety rooted in past experiences sometimes responds better to trauma-informed approaches like EMDR than to traditional talk therapy alone.
-
There isn’t a set timeline. It depends on what is contributing to your anxiety, how long the patterns have been present, and what you want to work on. Some concerns respond relatively quickly to focused treatment, while long-standing patterns or anxiety connected to past experiences may take more time.
-
Yes. Overthinking and perfectionism can become ways of trying to prevent mistakes, gain certainty, or avoid uncomfortable feelings. Therapy can help you understand what is driving those patterns, become more comfortable with uncertainty, and spend less time second-guessing yourself or trying to get everything exactly right.
