Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety & Overthinking
CBT for anxiety helps you understand your thoughts and limiting beliefs, stop the spiral, and live life with more clarity, calm, and confidence.
When Your Thoughts Feel Loud, Spiraling, or Hard to Navigate…
Life rarely goes to plan. (Despite our best efforts to be prepared and in control).
Sometimes change is the thing you’ve dreamed of.
Sometimes it’s forced — the breakup, layoff, miscarriage, illness, or loss of a loved one.
Even changes you’ve worked for can stir doubt and overwhelm, making you question what comes next.
This may feel familiar if you’re the woman who:Gets the praise, yet still wonders if you said or did something wrong.
Holds everything together on the outside, while inside, spiraling in self-doubt.
Overthinks every decision, from texts and emails to relationships and career steps.
Looks confident, but feels mentally exhausted from constantly analyzing, preparing, and anticipating.
Knows your thoughts aren’t always true, but still feels stuck in patterns you can’t seem to quiet.
Whether your thoughts are anxious or overwhelming, calm or spiraling, they shape your emotions, behaviors, and the patterns CBT can help you change.
When Your Thoughts Feel Loud, Spiraling, or Hard to Turn Off
You’re capable, responsible, and the one people count on.
But inside, your mind is spiraling and won’t turn off.
It’s constantly scanning, analyzing, and preparing for what might go wrong. It’s exhausting.
Maybe your thoughts:
✦ Spin to worst-case scenarios even when you know nothing’s wrong
✦ Replay conversations long after they’re over
✦ Overanalyze every decision, even the small ones
✦ Jump from one “what if” to the next
✦ Criticize yourself for not being perfect, calm, or “enough.”
✦ Leave you mentally drained even when your day wasn’t stressful
You’ve tried “just calming down.”
You’ve tried logic.
You’ve tried powering through.
Nothing has helped your mind quiet down the way you hoped.
CBT helps change that.

Why Standard Talk Therapy Isn’t Enough for Anxiety, Overthinking, and High-Achieving Women
Insight alone isn’t enough to calm anxious, spiraling thoughts. High-achieving women need focused, skills-based support beyond traditional talk therapy.
CBT helps you retrain unhelpful thought patterns so anxiety and overthinking no longer run your life, leaving you calmer, more grounded, and able to trust yourself and make decisions with ease.
