Frequently asked questions
Anxiety Therapy
What is anxiety therapy, and how can it help me?
At J Therapy, anxiety therapy involves a personalized, supportive space where we help you identify thought patterns, triggers, and behaviors that fuel your anxiety. Through evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, we’ll teach you how to quiet racing thoughts, build emotional resilience, and feel more in control of your life.
Can therapy really stop constant overthinking and racing thoughts?
Yes! Therapy can absolutely help. We’ll work together to interrupt the cycle of overthinking and anxiety by understanding your patterns and developing new ways to respond. You’ll learn practical tools to calm your mind and regain peace.
How do I know if my anxiety is “bad enough” to need therapy?
If anxiety is affecting your sleep, relationships, work, or daily peace of mind, therapy can help. You don’t have to wait for a crisis to get support. Many of our clients come to therapy simply because they're tired of feeling overwhelmed and want to feel more like themselves again.
What types of therapy are best for anxiety?
At J Therapy, we often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness strategies, and trauma-informed approaches tailored to each client. We choose what fits you best, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Is online therapy effective for anxiety in Florida?
Absolutely. We provide online therapy for women across Florida. Many of our clients love the flexibility of accessing high-quality, anxiety-focused therapy from the comfort of home.
Trauma Therapy
How do I know if I'm dealing with unresolved trauma?
If you're experiencing flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or feel stuck in patterns you can't explain, trauma may be playing a role. Therapy can help you explore your past and connect the dots.
What is trauma-informed therapy and how does it work?
Trauma-informed therapy respects your pace and your story. We prioritize safety, trust, and collaboration while helping you process and heal from past wounds without re-traumatization.
Can therapy help with childhood trauma or relationship trauma?
Yes. Whether your trauma stems from childhood, toxic relationships, or something else, therapy helps you understand how it's impacting you now and gently guides you through healing.
What should I expect in my first trauma therapy session?
We’ll start by creating a safe, welcoming space. You don’t have to share everything right away. We focus on building trust and understanding what you want out of therapy.
Is EMDR or talk therapy better for healing trauma?
That depends on your needs. At J Therapy, we currently offer talk therapy and trauma-informed approaches. If we think EMDR might be a helpful next step, we can help guide you to trusted referrals.
Women’s Therapy
Why do so many women struggle with anxiety and burnout?
Women are often juggling careers, relationships, family roles, and social expectations. That emotional load can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and feeling like you’re never doing enough.
Can therapy help with imposter syndrome and feeling "not good enough"?
Yes. These feelings are incredibly common among high-achieving women. Therapy helps you challenge self-doubt, build self-worth, and feel more confident in who you are.
What should I look for in a women's therapist?
Look for someone who truly gets it—who creates a space where you can be yourself, feel safe, and be challenged in a kind, real way. That's our approach at J Therapy.
Is therapy different for women navigating relationships, motherhood, or career stress?
While therapy is always personal, we tailor it to the unique pressures women face. We understand the emotional and mental load women carry and help lighten it.
How can therapy help high-achieving women feel more balanced?
We’ll help you explore the patterns keeping you stuck in burnout and perfectionism, so you can reconnect with your values, set boundaries, and find fulfillment on your terms.
Therapy for Big Life Changes
Can therapy help after a breakup or divorce?
Definitely. Whether it was a recent breakup or one you're still carrying, therapy gives you space to process grief, understand relationship patterns, and rebuild your sense of self.
How does therapy support major life changes like career shifts or moving?
Transitions can be overwhelming and disorienting. Therapy helps you regain clarity, manage stress, and navigate uncertainty with more confidence.
What are signs I might need support during a life transition?
If you feel stuck, lost, anxious, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can help. You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
How do I cope with relationship trauma after a toxic partner?
We provide a safe, validating space to work through the emotional aftermath, rebuild your self-worth, and learn how to trust yourself again.
What kind of therapy is best for big life transitions?
We use a mix of supportive talk therapy, coping skills, and solution-focused techniques that meet you where you are and help you move forward.
