Anxiety Therapy in Ogden, UT: How to Regain Control When Life Feels Overwhelming
Ogden offers a mix of city life and natural beauty. But even with the Wasatch Mountains in view, many people here feel like they’re barely holding things together. Anxiety often doesn’t look dramatic it shows up in the background, making everything feel harder than it should.
If you're in Ogden and anxiety has started to run the show, online therapy can help you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and find a more grounded way forward.
How Anxiety Might Be Showing Up for You
Anxiety takes many forms, and it doesn’t always come with panic attacks or obvious symptoms. Here are a few common signs:
Struggling to focus or follow through on tasks
Feeling restless, keyed up, or “on edge”
Worrying excessively even about things that seem small
Difficulty sleeping or constantly waking up tired
Avoiding situations that feel overwhelming
Therapy helps you recognize these patterns for what they are: protective strategies your nervous system has developed. Then we gently begin to shift those patterns.

My Approach to Anxiety Therapy
As a solo therapist serving Utah, I work with people across the state including in Ogden who want more than a quick fix. My style is supportive, collaborative, and customized to fit your needs. I blend:
Polyvagal theory, to help your body feel safer
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), to address the thoughts that keep you stuck
Person-centered therapy, so you always feel seen and respected not managed
Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath your anxiety and experiment with new ways of responding to it.
What to Expect When You Reach Out
The first step is a brief, no-pressure consultation so we can decide if we’re a good fit. From there, we’ll schedule an intake session. This includes:
A conversation about your anxiety and life context
A chance to name what’s been feeling difficult
Space to explore goals, even if they’re still unclear
Therapy begins by meeting you where you are not where you think you should be.
Ongoing Support That Evolves With You
We’ll meet weekly for 45 to 50-minute sessions. Some sessions might focus on learning skills like grounding or reframing anxious thoughts. Others might dive deeper into what fuels your anxiety beneath the surface.
With time, clients often report:
A clearer sense of internal calm
Better sleep and concentration
Less dread about daily tasks
More confidence in navigating hard conversations and emotions
Therapy isn’t about getting rid of anxiety forever it’s about building a steadier relationship with your mind and body.
What Makes My Practice Different
You won’t be given a one-size-fits-all workbook or left to figure things out alone. I offer real presence, humor when it helps, and genuine care. My clients often say they feel like they can finally exhale.
This practice is also LGBTQ+ affirming and trauma-informed. You don’t have to explain your identity or background just to be understood. You can show up as you are.
