Anxiety & Stress
Find steadier ground when your mind won’t slow down. Virtual anxiety and stress therapy for adults across New York and Arizona, blending real conversation with familiar CBT and ACT tools you can actually use.
How Can Therapy Actually Quiet Chronic Anxiety?
Anxiety doesn’t respond to willpower or well-meaning reassurance. It responds to real conversation, real understanding of the patterns, and tools you can actually use in the middle of a hard moment.
Anxiety has a way of running the show, narrating your nights, tightening your shoulders, and turning ordinary decisions into elaborate calculations. When stress becomes the air you breathe, you forget there’s another way.
Mariann will help you slow things down enough to see the patterns: the thoughts that loop, the situations that spike, the body signals you’ve been overriding. From there, real, livable tools.
Mariann borrows the familiar, well-researched tools CBT and ACT are known for, woven into conversation rather than assigned as homework. You’ll leave sessions with things to actually try, not a stack of worksheets.
The goal isn’t a life with no anxiety. It’s a life where anxiety stops being the loudest voice in the room.
Is Anxiety Therapy Right for You?
Anxiety wears a lot of disguises: sleeplessness, over-functioning, the loop that won’t quiet down. See if any of these land.
Your mind races at night and won't let you rest
Ordinary tasks feel overwhelming, even when you know they're not
You want real strategies, not just a place to vent
Mariann’s practice is open to adults of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds, across the adult lifespan. Whoever you are, you’re welcome here.
What Questions Do Clients Ask?
Do I need medication to get better?
That’s a personal decision made with your prescriber, not with Mariann. Many people manage anxiety well through therapy alone; others benefit from a combination. She can help you think it through without pressure in either direction.
Will I get tools I can actually use between sessions?
Yes. Mariann draws on CBT and ACT methods and translates them into things you can try in real life, not worksheets. You’ll leave sessions with something concrete to work with.
How long does it usually take to feel a difference?
Most clients notice small shifts within the first several sessions, less nighttime spiraling, more space between a trigger and a reaction. Deeper change unfolds at its own pace.
My anxiety comes and goes. Do I still need therapy?
Yes, if you want to understand why it comes back and build something more durable underneath. Mariann will help you work on the pattern, not just the flare-ups.
Is virtual therapy actually effective for anxiety?
Yes, and for many people it lowers the barrier enough that they finally stay. You can meet from a room that already feels safe, anywhere in New York or Arizona, which is often exactly what anxious clients need.
