A calm, warm-lit corner of a home with a comfortable chair by a desk, the kind of safe space someone joins online anxiety therapy from by secure video anywhere in Washington

Serving clients across Washington by secure video. Anxiety therapy from your own space, with the same therapist you would see in person.

In short

Yes, you can do anxiety therapy online in Washington. At Counseling Services for Wellbeing you meet a Washington-licensed therapist by secure video from your own space, anywhere in the state, with no waiting room and no commute. We treat anxiety as a whole-body pattern, not a thinking problem alone, accept most major insurance plans and book same-week first appointments.

The thing in the way

You know you need help with the anxiety. Getting out the door has been part of the problem.

It is two in the morning and your mind will not power down. Your chest is tight, your jaw is set, your stomach knots before the day has even started. During the day it is dread before you open your inbox, a body that stays braced even when nothing is wrong, a low hum you cannot turn off. You have already tried to think your way out of it, and if that worked you would have done it already.

And then there is the part nobody says out loud. The thing that is making you anxious is often the same thing that makes getting to a therapist hard. A waiting room full of strangers. Parking you have to find. A commute stacked on top of a day that already feels like too much. If panic, social anxiety or agoraphobia is in the mix, leaving the house at all can be the wall. So the help you need sits behind the exact barrier the anxiety built.

Online anxiety therapy takes that wall down. You start from a space that already feels safe, with the same therapist who works the anxiety in your body as much as your thoughts, and the commute, the waiting room and the parking stop being reasons to put it off.

Why video fits anxiety

Why online therapy can be easier for anxiety.

For a lot of people, the things that make in-person therapy hard are the same things anxiety feeds on. Taking them away is not a downgrade, it is often what gets the work started and keeps it going.

No waiting room

No sitting in a row of strangers with your heart already going before the session starts. You join from your own room when it is time, and that is the whole arrival.

No commute or parking stress

No traffic, no circling for a spot, no anxious drive home afterward. The hard part of a hard day does not get one more thing piled on top of it.

From your own safe space

You do the work from a place your nervous system already trusts, with your own chair, your own quiet and a door you can close. Feeling safe is where harder work actually becomes possible.

Accessible when leaving the house is hard

When panic, social anxiety or agoraphobia makes getting out the door the barrier, video lets you start anyway, then widen what feels possible at a pace you set.

Easier to stay consistent

A session that fits into a lunch break or the hour after the kids are down is a session you actually keep. Consistency is most of what makes anxiety work hold.

A real therapist near you, not whoever is closest

If your town has no good anxiety therapist within an hour, video means you are not stuck settling. You get matched on fit, not on distance.

None of this waters the work down. It is the same whole-body anxiety care, just without the barriers anxiety puts in the way. For people near the Seattle metro who would rather be there in person, the same care is available with anxiety therapy in person at our Seattle-area offices.

What we offer

Anxiety therapy for adults whose worry is no longer just in their head.

Panic and anxiety in the chest

Racing heart, tight chest, panic episodes, shallow breath that never lands. Working on it from a place that already feels safe.

Social anxiety

Dread being watched or judged, replaying conversations for hours. When a waiting room of strangers is the last thing that helps, video meets you where you are.

Wrecked sleep, 3am wake-ups

Racing thoughts at bedtime, waking flooded at 3am with your heart pounding, exhausted all day. The pattern in your body, not just your thoughts.

When leaving the house is hard

Agoraphobia or panic that has made getting out the door the barrier. You start from home and widen what feels possible from there.

Perfectionism, work stress, burnout

High-functioning on the outside, running on fumes underneath. A session that fits the calendar instead of fighting it.

No good anxiety therapist nearby

Rural or small-town clients with no in-network anxiety specialist within an hour, who would rather not settle for whoever is closest.

First-time-therapy adults are welcome. You do not need to have it figured out before you reach out.

Our approach

How online anxiety therapy works here.

We treat anxiety as a whole-body pattern, working with your sleep, your body and your thinking together, all by secure video built for healthcare, with the same therapist each session.

Reach out

A short form or a call. We hear what is going on, where anxiety lives for you, and what you have already tried. No assessment battery to clear before we talk, and no waiting room to sit in.

Get matched

We pair you with an anxiety therapist whose approach fits how your anxiety actually shows up. Body-stored anxiety lands with a somatic clinician. Trauma underneath lands with EMDR. The parts that argue land with IFS. All of them work over video.

Start this week, from your own space

Your first video session is usually the same week, joined from wherever you feel safe in Washington. The same therapist each time. The first few are about understanding your anxiety and giving you something to work with, not diving into the deep end before you are ready.

The method

Why a whole-body lens, by video.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, which the American Psychological Association describes as a highly effective approach for anxiety disorders, is broadly available across our team and carries cleanly into secure video. For people whose anxiety sits heavily in the body, we have therapists who work somatically and with nervous-system regulation, and that work translates to video too.

CBT for what it does well. Somatic and nervous-system regulation for what CBT cannot reach. EMDR when there is a trauma flavor underneath. IFS and ACT for the parts that argue and the worry that will not let go. We match the approach to how your anxiety actually shows up, not to whatever the screen allows.

Welcome
Hi, I’m Stacy Lanier (she/they), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Washington and Texas. I specialize in helping individuals, teens, couples, and families work through life’s toughest moments, whether they are dealing with anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, or strained communication.

If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a powerful step toward healing. I want to honor that courage. Therapy can be a place of transformation, but it doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. I bring warmth, authenticity, and a deep respect for your story into every session. Whether you’re neurodivergent, working through family transitions, or trying to rewrite the script of how you show up in relationships, I’m here for it, and I’m here for you.

Background
Before I became a therapist, I spent years walking alongside people through grief, change, and growth as a caregiver, parent, advocate, and community leader. Those lived experiences, along with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and advanced training in EMDR and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, profoundly inform my work.

I have guided families through trauma recovery, identity shifts, and grief healing. I have created a supportive space for teens grappling with abandonment, for partners feeling trapped in old conflict patterns, and for individuals striving to reclaim their worth after years of self-doubt. My own journey has been shaped by movement across states, systems, and roles, and I understand what it is like to reimagine life in the face of change.

Approach

My therapy style is relational, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Therapy with me is tailored specifically for you. I integrate systemic thinking, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and various other modalities to help you explore the narratives and patterns that shape your life.

We might map your relationship cycles, externalize a negative self-belief, explore the roles different “parts” play inside you, or practice new communication strategies. You’ll find our sessions filled with metaphor, curiosity, a touch of humor, and an ongoing invitation to be your true self.

My areas of focus include:

LGBTQ+ mental health and identity development.
Parenting and supporting neurodivergent adolescents.
Trauma and complicated grief.
Attachment wounds and relational healing.
Boundaries, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
Family systems and attachment repair.
Relationship difficulties and communication challenges.

Closing
I believe therapy is a sacred space where insight, courage, and connection come together. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, or even just curious about what it might involve, I’d love to meet you right where you are.

Healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection.
Whether you’re looking to understand yourself more deeply, mend a strained relationship, or start a new chapter in life, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Welcome

Most people think you’re doing fine. You show up, get through your day, and carry everything quietly. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together.

I see you. And you don’t have to do this alone.Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

But therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an act of courage. It is a space where you can finally exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel grounded, supported, and understood again.

Background:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches.

My path into this work comes from a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe that everyone carries a story, and within that story is resilience, strength, and the capacity for change.

As both a therapist and trauma-informed yoga instructor, I bring a mind-body perspective into my work, recognizing that healing is not just cognitive, but also emotional, physical, and nervous system-based.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, while also being honest and supportive. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including EMDR, somatic and body-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

I specialize in working with individuals working through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, women’s issues, and life transitions. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, build self-trust, develop healthier coping patterns, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong, worthy, and empowered.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and strength, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. Let’s begin that journey together

Hello! My name is Abigail, but you can call me Abbie. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I accept individuals 12+ years of age in person and over telehealth. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, life adjustment issues, behavioral issues, relationship issues, grief, and trauma.

Background and Experience

I was born and raised in the Southside suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Governors State University. I have worked with diverse populations, seeing individuals, couples, and families struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, marital problems, bipolar disorder, life adjustment issues, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

My Approach & Philosophy

What drew me to pursue counseling from a young age was my therapist helping me finally find a voice that I didn’t even know I had. My therapeutic approach is to empower my clients to find their voice while providing them with a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space. I believe that the client is the expert on their own life. I will always create a collaborative relationship with my clients and do my best to be as genuine and transparent as possible.

The theories I work from are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Theory. However, I always think it’s best to meet the clients where they are, so I will pull interventions and work from other theories as needed. Treatment for mental health issues is never “one size fits all.” Like I said, I want to have a collaborative relationship with my clients, so if you feel like something isn’t working or I’m not meeting your needs, tell me! I’d be happy to change my approach to meet your needs and make therapy more effective for you.

I also understand that creating a therapeutic relationship with someone you don’t know can be very intimidating. That’s why, along with being compassionate and nonjudgmental, I will also be genuine and bring a sense of humor. Regardless of our roles as therapist and client, we are still people, and I always want you to feel like you’re talking to a real person.

In my free time you can find me obsessing over Taylor Swift, watching TV shows/movies that make me laugh and cry, and going out for bubble tea with my friends.

I look forward to working with you!

Frequently asked questions

What adults ask about online anxiety therapy in Washington.

Does online anxiety therapy actually work?

Yes. Research on telehealth finds that anxiety therapy by secure video can be as effective as the same work in person, and the approaches we use, CBT, somatic and nervous-system work, EMDR and IFS, all carry into video. For many people anxiety is actually easier to work on from their own space, where there is no waiting room and no commute stacked on top of a hard day. We make no outcome promise and we will be straight with you about what we see.

Is online therapy good for panic attacks or agoraphobia?

Often yes. When leaving the house is part of what anxiety has made hard, whether that is panic, agoraphobia or social anxiety, getting to an office can be the very barrier that keeps people from starting. Video lets you begin from somewhere that already feels safe, then do the actual work of widening what feels possible at a pace you set with your therapist. Care happens in your sessions, with the same therapist each time.

Can I do online anxiety therapy from anywhere in Washington?

Anywhere in the state. We see clients across all of Washington by secure video, whether you are in a city, a suburb or a small town with no good anxiety therapist within an hour. Because our clinicians are licensed in Washington, geography is not the barrier, so you can keep care consistent without lining up a commute. The same care is also available in person at our Seattle-area offices.

Do you take my insurance for online anxiety therapy?

We accept most major insurance plans for online anxiety therapy, including Kaiser, Premera, Regence, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna. Coverage can vary by plan, so we will confirm exactly what your plan covers before your first session. You do not have to be cash-pay only the way many national therapy apps require, and you will not be left guessing about cost.

Is online anxiety therapy just CBT over video?

No. CBT is one of several approaches on the team. We also work somatically and with nervous-system regulation for anxiety that lives in the body, with EMDR when there is a trauma flavor underneath, and with IFS and ACT for the parts that argue and the worry that will not let go. All of it works by secure video, and we match the approach to how your anxiety actually shows up, not the other way around.

How do I keep an online session private at home?

Most people use a room with a door and headphones, and the video platform we use is built for healthcare. If home is not private enough, a parked car, a quiet office or a walk can work, and many clients find a spot that feels right after the first session or two. We will talk through what works for you before you start, so privacy is not one more thing to worry about.

Should I choose online or in-person anxiety therapy?

It depends on what helps you show up consistently. If a commute, parking or a waiting room would add to your anxiety, or if there is no good anxiety therapist near you, video tends to make care easier to start and easier to keep. If you would rather be in the room, we see clients in person with anxiety therapy in Seattle at our Green Lake, Burien and Smokey Point offices. The same therapist and the same work either way, and you can switch between them.

How soon can I start online anxiety therapy?

First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out. Much of the anxiety market books four to six weeks ahead or is cash-pay only, so you do not have to sit on a waitlist while your chest stays tight. Reach out and we will find the first video opening that fits your schedule.
