Anxiety Treatment That Addresses the Root Cause
Anxiety Doesn't Have to Control Your Life
Same-week appointments available. If anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or daily life, our board-certified psychiatrists and therapists can help. We offer both medication management and therapy — and you don't need a referral to get started.
If you are in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, please call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions in the United States, affecting over 40 million adults according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Yet many people wait years before seeking treatment — often because they're unsure whether what they're experiencing is "bad enough" to warrant professional help. It is.
At Empathy Health Clinic, we provide comprehensive anxiety treatment for adults in Orlando, Winter Park, and throughout Florida via telehealth. Our approach combines evidence-based medication management with therapy to address anxiety at its root — not just manage symptoms. Whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, or high-functioning anxiety, we have the expertise to help.
Every treatment plan starts with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. We take the time to understand your specific symptoms, triggers, medical history, and goals before recommending any treatment. For many patients, first-line anxiety treatment includes SSRIs or SNRIs — medications that are effective, well-tolerated, and non-addictive. We do not prescribe benzodiazepines.
Our medication monitoring process ensures your treatment is working safely and effectively, with regular follow-ups to track your response and make adjustments. For patients who prefer or benefit from virtual care, telepsychiatry medication management is available throughout Florida.

What Anxiety Treatment Includes
A comprehensive approach to anxiety — medication, therapy, and monitoring
Comprehensive Anxiety Evaluation
A thorough initial assessment to identify your specific anxiety type, symptom severity, triggers, medical history, and treatment goals. We differentiate between GAD, panic disorder, social anxiety, and other conditions because each responds to different treatments.
Medication Management
Evidence-based medication selection from SSRIs (sertraline, escitalopram), SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine), buspirone, and hydroxyzine. We explain each option, set clear expectations, and monitor your response with regular follow-ups.
Therapy & Counseling
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and other evidence-based approaches that teach you skills to manage anxiety long-term. Therapy can be combined with medication or used on its own.
Telepsychiatry Across Florida
Virtual appointments for both medication management and therapy, available to all Florida residents. Most follow-ups are conducted via telehealth for convenience.
Coordinated Care
If you're working with a therapist, primary care doctor, or other provider, we coordinate closely. Medication and therapy together often produce the best outcomes for anxiety.

Clear guidance on what to do if anxiety becomes overwhelming between appointments. Our team is available for urgent concerns, and we ensure you know how to access crisis resources (911, 988).
