Online psychologist for Specific Phobias
Please note: our sessions are held in Italian only.
Specific phobias are intense, disproportionate fears of precise objects or situations: flying, animals, blood, needles, lifts, or driving. The good news is they are among the disorders that respond best and fastest to psychotherapy.
Signs not to ignore
- Immediate and intense fear of a specific object or situation
- Systematic avoidance (e.g., planes, animals, blood tests)
- Physical symptoms at the mere thought (tachycardia, sweating)
- Awareness that the fear is excessive, but an inability to control it
How online therapy can help
With exposure therapy (even online, using imaginative and gradual techniques), phobias can generally be overcome in just a few sessions. There is no need to live with them.
