Anxiety Therapy and Support
Karyn Dowdall provides online psychotherapy for anxiety to clients in Northern Ontario and across the great lakes. Her practice supports individuals experiencing general anxiety, panic attacks, OCD symptoms, social anxiety, health anxiety, and trauma related anxiety.
Understanding Anxiety
The mind and body work together to keep us safe and balanced. When the nervous system is overwhelmed or injured, it can create physical or emotional distress. Many people respond to this stress by avoiding the triggers that feel threatening. While avoidance once helped us survive real dangers, it can increase anxiety in modern life and limit day to day functioning.
Types of Anxiety
General Anxiety: Ongoing worry or fear that interferes with daily life.
Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of intense fear with physical symptoms.
OCD Symptoms: Intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions that feel difficult to control.
Social Anxiety: Fear of judgment or discomfort in social situations.
Health Anxiety: Persistent worry about illness or medical concerns.
Trauma Related Anxiety: Anxiety that develops after a difficult or distressing event.
Overcoming Avoidance
Avoidance can create short term relief, but it often leads to stronger anxiety over time. Karyn helps clients understand their triggers and build healthy coping strategies. Through evidence based therapeutic approaches, she offers support that helps individuals face challenges safely and confidently.
Reaching Out for Support
If you are struggling with anxiety and want guidance that is compassionate and practical, Karyn Dowdall is here to help. She offers online sessions that provide flexibility and accessibility for individuals throughout Ontario.
