Online Anxiety Therapy in Utah: Support for the High-Functioning but Exhausted
If you’re living in Utah, whether in Salt Lake City, Ogden, or a quiet corner of the Wasatch Back, you may have noticed a subtle pressure humming in the background of daily life. Do more. Be more. Handle it all, and look good doing it. This cultural current runs deep, and it often leaves people drained, anxious, and unsure why they still feel like something’s missing.
You might be the one everyone turns to. The one who’s dependable, composed, and competent. On the outside, it all works. But on the inside? Your brain won’t slow down. Your body feels like it’s holding its breath. You’re tired in a way rest doesn’t fix. And maybe the question that won’t go away is: “Why can’t I just feel okay?”
I offer online therapy for Utah residents who are carrying more than they should have to, mentally, emotionally, and physiologically. And we don’t just talk about symptoms. We decode them.
Why Anxiety and Burnout Show Up Differently in Utah
Utah’s cultural landscape is unique. For some, especially those raised in religious communities, there’s a silent blueprint about how to live a good life. And for those who have shifted away from those expectations—or who never fit the mold to begin with—that dissonance can be emotionally taxing.
Whether you’re navigating a faith transition, managing high-functioning anxiety, or simply trying to find space for your full identity, the emotional toll is real. Many clients I work with describe:
Persistent pressure to perform, serve, and show up without complaint
A fear of being “too much” or “not enough”
Anxiety that doesn’t respond to logic or deep breathing
A constant need to prove, fix, or figure things out
This isn’t about failing to cope. It’s about a nervous system stuck in overdrive. And that’s where therapy, specifically nervous system-informed therapy, can help.
What Makes My Approach Different
I’m not here to hand you a checklist of coping tools and send you on your way. I blend polyvagal theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and person-centered care to get underneath your anxiety, not just treat the surface.
Together, we’ll explore what your anxiety is trying to communicate. We’ll learn what makes your system feel safe or threatened. And we’ll practice ways to bring your body and mind into alignment, so you’re not constantly fighting against yourself.
This work isn’t about perfection. It’s about clarity. It’s about choice. And it’s about learning to trust yourself again.
What to Expect When You Reach Out
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I don’t take that lightly. When you schedule a consultation, you’ll be met with warmth, not formality. This is a solo practice, which means every step, from your first email to ongoing therapy sessions, goes through me. No admin, no middle person.
We’ll start with a free, 15-minute video consult so we can get a feel for whether this is the right fit. From there, your intake session will give us space to:
Talk about what’s been going on for you
Identify the patterns or stressors that keep looping
Explore what you want from therapy
Begin building a roadmap together
After that, most clients attend weekly online sessions, which focus on:
Learning practical tools for anxiety and stress
Reconnecting with your identity and values
Understanding and regulating your nervous system
Making meaning of your story without shame or self-blame
This process is not one-size-fits-all. It's responsive, collaborative, and deeply human.
Who I Work With
I work with adults in Utah who are tired of white-knuckling their way through life. Many of my clients are:
Queer, neurodivergent, or exploring identity transitions
Professionals, parents, or caregivers who feel stuck in performance mode
Formerly religious individuals navigating a complex shift in beliefs
People who look like they’re managing, but feel emotionally brittle inside
If you’ve ever thought, “I should be fine,” or, “Other people have it worse,” you’re exactly the kind of person who deserves support. This work isn’t about minimizing what’s hard—it’s about making space for your experience to matter.
What Therapy Looks Like in Practice
Therapy with me happens online, which means you can show up from wherever you feel safe, your home office, your car, a quiet corner of your world. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform and offer sessions to anyone located in Utah.
This format is especially helpful if:
You live in a rural area where services are limited
You’re balancing caregiving or work demands
You want the flexibility to receive care on your terms
And because I accept most major insurance plans, we can explore coverage before our first full session so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises.
A Space Where You’re Allowed to Just Be
If you’ve been stuck in a loop of overthinking, overperforming, or trying to outrun your anxiety, therapy can be a place to pause. To be seen. To breathe.
You don’t have to explain everything perfectly or have a five-point plan for healing. You don’t have to arrive as your most composed self. You just have to show up—and I’ll meet you there.
This work is slow, intentional, and sometimes messy. But it’s real. And if you’re ready to feel less broken and more human, I’d love to support you.
Next Steps
