How is online therapy for anxiety with Lara Listens Therapy different?

Unlike generic anxiety therapy, with a checklist of things, online therapy for anxiety with Lara Listens Therapy is different because it:

• Treats the person, not the “label” – I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment for anxiety. Everyone has a different experience and different things that work for them. I always take the time to get to know the client so that I can give them a fully personalised anxiety treatment that works for them and their specific symptoms.
• Draws on multiple approaches – rather than just CBT, talk therapy or somatic treatments, it draws on different schools of Psychology and therapeutic techniques to offer a more full-bodied approach.
• 100% remote – being online means that you can access anxiety treatment wherever you are and whenever you need it. You don’t need to plan how to get to a new place or go to somewhere new and unfamiliar. The therapy can happen right from your own home.
• Positive effect outside of sessions – in online therapy for anxiety with Lara Listens, you’ll be given tools that you can use and practice immediately. This means that even outside of sessions you have techniques that you can use to help yourself feel better. This, combined with the personalised hypnosis recording to listen to each night, means that your brain is constantly being primed towards positive change – not just in session. All of this makes you more resilient and ready for life beyond your therapy sessions.
• Long-term change – many therapies for anxiety offer quick fixes or only focus on treating one aspect of the anxiety. With this multi-faceted approach – looking at the root of the anxiety, triggers, behavioural patterns, emotional and physical symptoms and cognitive changes – we’re addressing the anxiety at all stages for meaningful, long-term change.
