Anxiety Therapy in Naples Florida

When you’re going through the motions, but not fully present for your life

Anxiety counseling based in Naples, FL to support your journey from overwhelm, rumination, constant stress, and depletion to space, choice, clarity, and peace.

Do you find yourself constantly overthinking, running through decisions or worst-case scenarios… on repeat?

  • A mind that won’t slow down or turn off and an inability to close out your mental tabs
  • A body that feels tense, exhausted, or on edge, no matter how much breathing or grounding you try
  • Irritability at seemingly insignificant stressors 
  • Questioning everything, from your decisions to your relationships to your life’s purpose

I work with motivated adults throughout Naples and Southwest Florida who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

Anxiety Counseling IN Naples FL

You aren’t alone. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health struggles

It affects nearly 1 in 5 adults, which is inevitable in our fast-paced, often disconnected modern world.

Fortunately, anxiety treatment can help. We slow things down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. Rather than only managing symptoms, anxiety therapy explores where these patterns come from, how they formed, and what they’ve been trying to do for you.

We reconnect with your internal experience, including your thoughts, emotions, and body. You’ll learn to notice what’s happening in real time instead of getting pulled into automatic cycles of overthinking, shutdown, or pushing through.

To regulate an emotion, we have to let ourselves feel it. In therapy, we get into the experience and give them room to breathe so something new can emerge.

What Does Anxiety Look Like?


Anxiety doesn’t always feel like worry. Sometimes, it shows up as a pit in your stomach, racing thoughts, irritability, or a constant sense that something feels off. Often, your nervous system uses these sensations to communicate that something feels uncertain, overwhelming, or unsafe.

  • You feel like you have to do everything yourself. Even when you resent carrying so much, letting something off your plate leaves you feeling uncomfortable. It’s hard to rely on others.
  • Boundaries are needed, but guilt takes over when you set one. Then, you replay the conversation and question whether you were selfish or asking for too much.
  • You wake up with a pit in your stomach. Before anything happens, your body already feels tense and braced for the day.
  • Your partner doesn’t answer your text, and your brain starts spiraling. You check your phone, reread the message, and wonder whether something is wrong between you.
  • You constantly monitor other people’s moods. When someone seems upset, you immediately wonder what you did wrong and how you can fix it.
  • Even when everything feels okay, you wait for something to go wrong. Your mind keeps scanning for problems, making it difficult to fully relax or enjoy the moment.

Shift From….

✖️ Feeling stuck in your head, tense, and scattered ✔️ Grounded and present in your body with calmer response to stress 
✖️ Lying awake at night ruminating about the mental load you carry ✔️ Ease in your body and the ability to enjoy quality rest 
✖️ Making decisions from fear, pressure, or outdated expectations✔️ Responding with a clear, present-oriented, steady mind 
✖️ Feeling that sinking wave of dread take over✔️ Being able to ground yourself in the moment and know that you are safe 
✖️ Looking outside yourself for validation and safety✔️ Feeling confident and secure within yourself

Types of Anxiety I Work With

Anxiety can show up in different ways, and I work with clients experiencing generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, and burnout.

  • Spending much of your day anticipating what could go wrong, avoiding situations that make you uncomfortable, or feeling unable to quiet your mind.
  • Experiencing physical symptoms, sudden waves of panic, worry about your health, or exhaustion from staying in a constant state of pressure.
  • Feeling the constant responsibility and pressure to be the one holding up everything, while noticing hurt and resentment toward others.

Together, we explore what keeps these patterns in place and increase your confidence in managing when anxiety comes up in your life – giving you greater sense of clarity, confidence, and choice in how you respond.

How Anxiety Therapy Helps

I aim to do two things in anxiety disorder treatment: First, to help you build coping skills that keep daily challenges manageable, sort of like a raft to help keep you above water. Then we work to heal the deeper roots of your anxiety, like repairing the boat itself.

Stabilize and ground

First, we help your nervous system find steadier ground first, with skills to regulate and return to the present when things spike or drop.

Understand your patterns

Next, we trace where your patterns came from and what they’ve been trying to protect so you start to make sense to yourself.

Shift stuckness

Then, we work on creating change. Not by forcing the anxious parts of you to quiet down. Instead, we work with them to identify your needs.

Meet Your Anxiety Therapist in Naples, FL

I’m Danielle Sethi, M.S., LMFT, a licensed therapist serving clients in Naples and throughout Southwest Florida. I’ve practiced therapy for the past four years after building a prior career in finance in New York City.

My work with anxiety draws from IFS and EMDR, two modern approaches to therapy that get us out of our heads. I’ve trained through the IFS institute and hold certification in EMDR (pending).

IFS has given me a framework to see my clients – and myself – in a completely new way. Rather than trying to force change through shame, it helps us invite it in through a deep understanding of how we got to the current state. EMDR gives us more techniques in our toolbox to shift longer standing patterns. The models blend together like peanut butter and jelly to give you the most comprehensive healing experience. 🤌

My goal is not to teach you how to push anxiety away. Because the truth is, if we want to be able to regulate a feeling, we first have to let ourselves feel it. I’ll help you understand what is driving it and build more flexibility in how you respond.

My background and credentials

Why choose Danielle Sethi Therapy?

Evidence-based approaches

Trained in modalities like EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems), proven methods for getting to the root of anxiety rather than just managing symptoms.

Somatic-oriented work

Anxiety doesn’t just live in the mind. Sessions focus on integrating the mind and the body, helping you notice and shift the physical patterns that keep anxiety on autopilot.

Flexible formats

Choose 50-minute virtual sessions or longer intensives, depending on what depth of work you’re looking for.

Unhurried, red-tape free care

Working outside insurance means no rushed sessions or symptom-checklist approach. We have the time and space needed to do deep, sustainable work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Therapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety, with substantial research backing. The key is finding an approach that aligns with your goals.

Therapy isn’t about taking that strength away. Instead, it’s about giving you more support so you don’t have to carry everything alone. This is about having more choice and ease, rather than being driven by old patterns.

Anxiety is treatable, and change is possible. As we draw connections and uncover patterns together, we’ll create strategies to help you approach things in a new way.

My approach is warm and engaged. I’ll work with you to set goals both long term and for each session.

I hold weekly sessions online via Zoom. If you’re interested in working together through an EMDR intensive, you have the option to meet in person in Naples, FL.

Virtual sessions are held over Zoom. All you need is a laptop, secure internet connection, and private space.

This is a private-pay practice, so I do not accept insurance. This allows for greater privacy and flexibility in your care. You may use HSA/FSA funds, and I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
