Therapy for Anxiety and OCD
When anxiety strikes…
Your breath shortens, your heart races, and your mind loops endlessly, scanning for danger or trying to solve something that can’t be solved.
It shows up as a deep restlessness in your chest or a pit in your stomach, turning ordinary tasks into uphill battles.
Without meaning to, your thoughts just make it worse. Trying to out-think the anxiety or predict every outcome only fuels the spiral.
And if OCD enters the picture? Disturbing thoughts slam into you out of nowhere, and relief only comes through rituals you hate but can’t skip.
Virtual therapy and AI may offer temporary relief and the illusion of comfort, but they can’t offer presence or true connection.
In reality, turning to technology to ease your anxiety deprives your nervous system of what it desperately craves.
Without real connection, anxiety has nowhere to land.
Constantly bombarded by negative headlines, endless notifications, and the silent pressure of social media, your body stays on high alert, waiting for danger, bracing for the next thing.
Chronically stuck in hypervigilance – spending hours each day on screens and unconsciously trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk – your need for rest, safety and connection goes unmet day after day after day.
You weren’t built for this. You’re a human being, wired for face-to-face connection, for co-regulation with other nervous systems, for presence.
That persistent anxiety you feel? It’s your nervous system calling out for connection—for something slower, steadier, and more human
There is no solving anxiety or OCD through screens or technology.
What you need now is in-person therapy.
Chronic anxiety and OCD aren’t just “normal stress.” In today’s world, they’re symptoms of disconnection, isolation and an overwhelmed nervous system. When your anxiety is off the charts, compassionate in-person therapy emotionally calms your racing thoughts.
At Sentient Psychotherapy, we believe in the irreplaceable power of being met – fully, compassionately, and in person.
When you sit across from a therapist in the same room, your nervous system has the chance to co-regulate with theirs. That means you’re not just being heard intellectually; your body is also receiving cues of safety, calm, and attunement that can’t be replicated through a screen or speaking to AI.
Eye contact, subtle shifts in breath, the gentle presence of another human expertly trained and attuned to you in real time – these are healing in and of themselves.
In-person therapy at Sentient allows for a deeper kind of resonance, where your experiences are not only witnessed but felt with you.
