Anxiety Therapy for High Achievers: Somatic and CBT Support to Calm Your Mind and Body

In-person in Massachusetts + online anxiety therapy for residents of Connecticut & Florida.

Stress is a common part of life, but when it causes physical symptoms that disrupt your daily routine, how can you cope?

Somatic Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi, I’m Maya Ribot, LICSW. I work with high-performing professionals who are tired of feeling anxious, burned out, and stretched too thin.


You’ve built a successful life by pushing through—but your nervous system is paying the price. If rest feels uncomfortable and stress is your default mode, therapy can help you break the cycle.

You're ready to do the work—you always are. But finding a therapist who understands the pressure to be constantly “on” is the first step. In our work together, we’ll explore how perfectionism, productivity patterns, and self-worth have been shaping your mental health—and how to shift toward something more sustainable.

Using a blend of somatic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, I’ll help you tune into your body, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and learn how to regulate your stress response. You’ll develop tools to move through life with more clarity, presence, and ease without sacrificing your drive or ambition.

We might be a great fit if you are experiencing…

  • Overthink everything, especially what others think of you: at work, in relationships, or even when you're alone.

  • Struggle with perfectionism and rarely feel satisfied, no matter how much you achieve.

  • Fear failure or rejection, and it keeps you stuck in avoidance, over-preparation, or burnout.

  • Self-sabotage, even when things are going well—because deep down, you're not sure you're enough.

  • Feel burned out from trying to balance everything without ever truly feeling fulfilled.

  • Overfunction—taking on too much, managing everyone else’s emotions, and neglecting your own.

Reasons clients come to see me.

Empathic

I am deeply invested in the well-being of each client and fully committed to supporting you on your healing path. I firmly believe that genuine empathy and compassion are essential for fostering true understanding. These principles are not only fundamental in my practice but also guide my personal life.

Integrative

Lifestyle has a huge impact on our overall mental health. That’s why I make it a point to talk and process through more than just your thoughts and feelings. During sessions we will also discuss sleep, nutrition, physical & social health, and more.

Holistic

I approach therapy holistically, viewing each individual as a complex and unique whole. By recognizing your experiences, history, family of origin, and environment, I strive to help you achieve balance and well-being in all aspects of your life.

Somatic

I believe we have to include the body in this work. Without it, we miss valuable messages and information that can help increase self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing.
