Anxiety therapy for college students in Oxford, OH

In-person therapy in Oxford, Ohio. Virtual sessions available across Ohio.

You find yourself overthinking everything

Feeling constantly overwhelmed and on edge, like your mind never shuts off between classes, social pressure, and expectations.

College can feel like you’re constantly “on,” even when you’re exhausted. You might sit down to relax, but your mind keeps going, thinking about assignments, deadlines, or everything you should be doing. It’s like you can’t fully shut it off, and no matter how much you get done, it never quite feels like enough.

Socially, it can feel just as overwhelming. You might replay conversations after they happen, wonder if you said something weird, or feel pressure to fit in while also feeling drained by it all. Part of you wants connection, but another part of you feels anxious, awkward, or like you’re not quite yourself around others.

Can you relate?

Your mind doesn’t shut off—you’re constantly thinking about what you need to do, what you said, or what could go wrong


You overanalyze conversations and worry about how you come across to others


You feel pressure to keep up, but underneath it all you’re overwhelmed and mentally exhausted


You want to feel more calm, confident, and in control instead of trapped in anxiety all the time


Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already overwhelmed. When we work together, my goal is to create a space where you can finally slow down and feel understood, without pressure to have everything figured out. We’ll begin by talking through what’s been coming up for you, whether that’s overthinking, academic stress, social anxiety, or just feeling constantly on edge.

I’ll help you make sense of what’s happening in your mind and body so your anxiety starts to feel less confusing and more manageable.

Over time, therapy becomes a place where you build confidence in yourself. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely, it’s to help you feel more in control, more like yourself, and able to actually enjoy this season of your life.

15 Minute Consultation Call

Your intake session is a space for us to slow down and really understand what’s been going on for you. We’ll talk through what’s bringing you to therapy right now, as well as your history with anxiety, relationships, and any patterns you’ve noticed over time. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get a fuller picture of your experiences, but there’s no pressure to share everything all at once we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Intake

A typical 45–60 minute session is a space for you to slow down, talk through what’s been coming up, and start making sense of it in a deeper way. We might begin by checking in on your week what felt hard, what stood out, and where anxiety or relationship patterns showed up.

From there, we’ll gently explore those moments together, and a greater understanding of these moments.

FAQs

  • A lot of college students wonder this, especially when they’re used to pushing through or comparing themselves to others. The truth is, if anxiety is impacting your thoughts, your relationships, or your ability to enjoy your life, it’s worth getting support. You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable—therapy can help you feel better now, not just when things get worse.

  • Overthinking can feel constant and hard to control, but it’s something we can absolutely work on. In therapy, you’ll learn how to understand your thought patterns, step out of spirals, and feel more in control of your mind. It’s not about shutting your thoughts off completely—it’s about helping them feel quieter and less overwhelming.

  • It’s completely normal to feel nervous at first. My goal is to create a space where you can just be yourself without feeling judged or pressured. You don’t need to have the right words or know where to start—I’ll help guide the conversation so it feels more natural and comfortable over time.
