About Anxiety Insights

Who is listed

The directory currently holds 28,010 therapists, organised across 77 topics and 21 ways of working. Every one of them lists stress and anxiety among the things they work with, and almost all list a good deal else besides.

Being listed here is not evidence of an anxiety specialism. "Stress, Anxiety" is one of the categories a therapist selects when they set up their BetterHelp profile, and the overwhelming majority of them select it - it is closer to a box nearly everyone ticks than to a stated expertise. A therapist appearing here has told BetterHelp they work with anxiety, and nothing more than that. Many will have real depth in it. Some will not. If it matters to you, ask them directly rather than inferring it from this listing or from the name above the page.

The same goes for topics: a therapist appearing under a focus area means they list it, not that they are a certified expert in it.

Where these therapists practise

This directory covers the United States only. Every therapist listed holds a licence issued by a state board - the letters vary by state and by profession, and the credentials page explains what the common ones mean.

Sessions arranged through this directory happen online, but a licence is still issued by a particular state, so where you live shapes who may work with you. Start from your state and check the credentials shown on the profile.

What this directory does not do

Nothing on this site is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation, and no page here can tell you whether what you are experiencing is anxiety. That is a conversation for a clinician who is actually talking to you. What this site can do is show you who works with it and how they describe their own approach.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is free, available at any hour, and it is not this directory.

Where the information comes from

Therapist details - credentials, registrations, years in practice, focus areas and ways of working - come from BetterHelp, the platform these therapists work through. We do not collect it from therapists directly and we do not verify anyone's standing ourselves.

The written summaries on each profile are produced with the help of AI, working only from those facts. They are written not to add anything that is not in the source information - no invented specialisms, diagnoses, availability or results. If something looks wrong, please tell us and we will correct it.

How listings are ordered

Ordering is not for sale: no therapist pays to be listed, to rank higher, or to be featured. There are no ratings or reviews here, because we have no reliable source for them and would rather show nothing than invent a score. We also do not publish whether someone is taking new clients - it changes constantly and anything we showed would be out of date by the time you read it.

What this site is not

Anxiety Insights is not a healthcare provider, a clinic, or a therapy practice. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, we are not part of your care, and nothing here is a substitute for speaking to a professional. We are also not BetterHelp, and we are not involved in your sessions or any arrangement you make.

Deciding whether a particular therapist is right for you is your call, and worth taking your time over.

If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is free and available at any hour. In an emergency, call 911.

If you are a therapist listed here

If you would like your profile corrected or removed, contact us and it will be dealt with. Removal means the profile is taken down across the site, not just hidden from search. You do not need to explain why.

Get in touch

Questions, corrections and removal requests all go through the contact page.

Otherwise, you can browse all therapists or start from what you are facing.
