Anxiety Therapy in Connecticut

You can feel your body buzzing even when you’re sitting still. It’s like you’re running on caffeine and adrenaline all the time, even when nothing urgent is happening. You keep telling yourself, “If I can just get through this week,” but there’s always another week waiting, just as full and just as heavy.

Work feels like an endless loop — answering emails late at night, saying yes to things you don’t have capacity for, fixing mistakes that aren’t yours because you can’t stand the thought of something being done halfway. You tell yourself it’s easier if you just do it yourself, but underneath that is the fear that no one else will do it right.

Every time you try to slow down, guilt hits. Your mind starts running through everything you “should” be doing — the unfinished projects, unread messages, tiny details that could make someone think you’re not keeping up. Even when you rest, you’re not really resting. Your body might be still, but your thoughts are racing toward tomorrow.

When Anxiety Feels Like a Full-Time Job

Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts anymore. It’s taken over your body. Your chest feels tight, your breath shallow, your heart racing, your jaw clenched. You wake up already behind. You fall asleep scrolling because silence feels unbearable.

What scares you most is how normal it’s started to feel. You used to get a rush from being the one who could handle everything, but now you feel like you’re standing on the edge all the time, one small thing away from falling apart. You know you can’t keep going like this, but the idea of letting go terrifies you.

You’re starting to notice how the constant stress shows up everywhere — snapping at people you care about, feeling resentful at work, struggling to focus or enjoy anything. You’re exhausted, but you can’t seem to stop.

Hi, I’m Maya Ribot, LICSW

I offer anxiety therapy virtually across Connecticut for high performers who are tired of running on empty.

I specialize in helping people move through anxiety, stress, and burnout using a combination of somatic therapy and cognitive behavioral tools. My approach blends nervous system regulation with practical strategies that actually work — especially for people who don’t want to be told to “just relax.”

In our sessions, we go beyond talk therapy. Together, we’ll help you get out of your head and back into your body. We’ll explore what it means to let go of the pressure to always be “on” and find space to breathe again. You’ll learn how to notice what your body is communicating and respond with compassion instead of criticism.
