Burnout & Anxiety Treatment for Professional Women
Feeling anxious or stuck—but unsure how to break the cycle?
Does it look like you’re successful on the outside, but it feels like you’re barely keeping it together?
Wondering why it’s so hard to relax?
Does it feel like all the color has been sucked out of your life?
If you’re juggling a multitude of responsibilities and feel like you’re teetering on the brink of collapse, you may be experiencing the kind of burnout or anxiety busy women carry, often in silence. Burnout and anxiety treatment can help you regain your footing and get back on track.
Women and Burnout
Burnout was first coined in the 1970s to describe chronic workplace stress, leaving people feeling drained, detached, and unproductive. It’s not just about work anymore. Over the years, that definition has grown to include stress from all areas of life—like caregiving, juggling personal responsibilities, or dealing with societal pressures. While stress is a normal part of life, burnout sets in when relentless demands push the body into a constant state of overdrive.
It doesn’t happen overnight but builds gradually, often intensifying during midlife when career demands, caregiving roles, and personal expectations collide. This stage of life can amplify pressures, from navigating career plateaus and shifting family dynamics to grappling with questions of purpose and fulfillment.
Burnout can feel like an unrelenting weight, leaving women emotionally drained, physically exhausted, depressed, and questioning their direction in life. A skilled therapist can help women recover from the effects of burnout to regain the vitality that has been missing.
Anxiety & Burnout
Burnout and anxiety often go hand in hand, feeding into each other in ways that can be hard to untangle. When you're burned out, the constant demands and lack of recovery time can heighten feelings of stress, leaving your mind racing and your body on edge.
Over time, this persistent state of overwhelm can lead to anxiety, with worries about keeping up, letting others down, or not meeting expectations taking center stage. Similarly, anxiety can make it harder to slow down or recharge, perpetuating the cycle of exhaustion. Recognizing this connection is key to breaking free and finding balance.
Signs of Stress & Anxiety
Chronic physical and emotional exhaustion that doesn’t get better with rest
Difficulty concentrating or feeling unmotivated
Irritability or heightened sensitivity to stress
Feelings of detachment or lack of accomplishment
Increased reliance on unhealthy coping mechanisms (e.g., overeating, alcohol)
Trouble sleeping despite feeling tired
Lack of fulfillment
Strained relationships
Overwhelming sense of being stuck

Your Questions, Answered
How do I know if what I’m feeling is stress, anxiety, or life just being hard?
It can be hard to tell the difference, especially if you have been feeling that way for a long time. Rather than trying to labeling the issue, it can be more helpful to look at the impact you’re noticing on your life. If you find it’s harder than it once was to keep up with work, manage home responsibilities, or even stay connected with loved ones, an anxiety therapist can help you pinpoint what’s going on and provide tools to get things back on track.
Is online therapy really as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes— in most circumstances. Research has consistently demonstrated the efficacy of teletherapy compared to in-person therapy (i.e., similar outcomes) for a wide range of issues such as anxiety and depression; however, online therapy is not a good fit for everyone. It’s important for a therapist to assess whether anxiety therapy is appropriate for your unique needs and circumstances before starting treatment.
For busy people juggling multiple responsibilities and full schedules, teletherapy provides a flexible and convenient way to access anxiety treatment without the hassle and stress of having to commute to an office. Scheduling aside, many people appreciate being able to discuss sensitive topics from the comfort of their own space.
Why should I choose private pay therapy when I have insurance?
While using insurance can seem like the most practical choice, it often comes with limitations that can affect the quality and continuity of your care. Insurance plans typically only authorize treatment for certain mental health conditions, meaning significant life issues that have a major impact on your life, like burnout, grief, or self-worth struggles, may not be covered.
Additionally, many insurance plans have session limits—the number of sessions you can have or how frequently you can be seen—which can disrupt momentum or end support before you’re ready. Private pay therapy removes those barriers so that you can receive consistent, personalized care that’s focused solely on your goals—not the insurance company’s agenda. It also protects your privacy, as no clinical details are shared with third parties unless you choose to submit superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Investing in therapy in this way gives you the freedom and flexibility to do the deeper work for anxiety or other issues on your terms.
