Anxiety therapy is a step-by-step process designed to support you at every stage here’s how it works.

Talk with the therapist briefly to share your concerns, ask questions, and see if therapy feels like a good fit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most commonly asked questions about our services.

How do I know if anxiety therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by worry, panic, or stress that won’t go away, therapy may help. Whether anxiety is new or something you've dealt with for years, working with a licensed therapist can give you tools to feel more grounded, focused, and in control.

What types of anxiety do you treat?

Therapy can support a wide range of anxiety-related concerns, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, high-functioning anxiety, and anxiety tied to major life changes or trauma. Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific symptoms and needs.

What should I expect in a therapy session?

Sessions are 50–90 minutes and provide a safe, structured space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. You’ll work on practical tools, guided reflection, and evidence-based techniques that help reduce anxiety and improve your daily functioning.

How soon will I start to feel better?

Many clients begin to notice changes within the first few sessions such as improved sleep, greater focus, or fewer panic symptoms. Lasting results often develop over time through consistent sessions and active participation.

Do you offer virtual anxiety therapy?

Yes. Secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual therapy is available for clients across Florida, Massachusetts, and California. Virtual sessions are flexible, private, and just as effective as in-person therapy.

What methods are used in therapy for anxiety?

Treatment may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, narrative therapy, and strength-based coaching. These methods are personalized to help you manage anxiety in ways that fit your life.

What if I feel nervous about starting therapy?

That’s completely normal. Therapy is a judgment-free space designed to meet you exactly where you are. The first step is simply having a conversation—you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

Do you accept insurance?

Dr. Christopher Joaquim is an out-of-network provider, which means insurance is not billed directly. However, he can provide a detailed invoice (called a superbill) that clients may submit to their insurance company for possible reimbursement, depending on their plan.

What payment methods do you accept?

To keep payment simple and accessible, Dr. Christopher Joaquim offers flexible options. Accepted methods include ACH bank transfer, Zelle, cash, check, wire transfer, and all major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are also accepted.

Is a sliding scale available?

Yes, a sliding scale is available for clients who qualify. If affordability is a concern, Dr. Christopher Joaquim encourages reaching out to discuss options. He is committed to making therapy as accessible as possible and will gladly explore available solutions with you.

How common is anxiety in the U.S.?

The National Institute of Mental Health reports that nearly one in three adolescents and adults in the U.S. experience anxiety at some point. What begins as worry can grow into ongoing fear, avoidance, and physical symptoms such as chest tightness, sleep difficulties, or stomach discomfort.
