Take the First Step Toward Healing Today.
Trauma doesn’t always look like what people expect. It’s not just about what happened. It’s about how it lives in your body and mind long after the event has passed. If you’re feeling stuck, triggered, emotionally numb, or on constant alert, know this: you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. Anchor Health Counseling offers expert online trauma therapy to help you process what you’ve been through, rebuild trust in yourself, and find peace again on your schedule, from the safety of home.
When Trauma Lingers, It Can Affect Every Part of Your Life
Trauma has a way of shaping your thoughts, your emotions, and even your body. You may find yourself avoiding certain people or places, feeling disconnected from others, or struggling with flashbacks, nightmares, or panic. You might not feel “like yourself” anymore. And even when life seems stable on the outside, the inner turmoil remains.
At Anchor Health Counseling, we help people gently work through the impact of trauma at a pace that feels safe. You don’t have to relive the past to move forward, but you do deserve support from someone who understands how trauma shows up and how to help you heal.

When the Past Feels Too Present
Trauma and PTSD can make everyday life feel unpredictable. Maybe your nervous system is constantly on edge, even when nothing’s wrong. Maybe you’re doing everything you can to function, but your body still reacts with fear, tension, or shutdown. Trauma can keep you trapped in survival mode; affecting your sleep, your relationships, and your ability to feel joy.
Therapy for trauma at Anchor Health Counseling provides a confidential space to process the pain, reconnect with your body and emotions, and reclaim the parts of yourself that trauma tried to steal. We offer compassionate, evidence-based care for people ready to begin (or continue) their healing journey.
You don’t have to have a PTSD diagnosis to benefit from trauma therapy. Signs that trauma may be affecting you include:
Flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or nightmares
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from your surroundings
Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe in relationships
Trouble sleeping, relaxing, or concentrating
Avoiding people, places, or situations that remind you of the past
Mood swings, irritability, or unexplained guilt and shame
Hypervigilance or feeling “on edge” all the time
Satisfied clients helped over the years
Years of combined therapist experience

You’ve Been Surviving for So Long, But You Deserve to Heal
You might have told yourself to “just move on” or “stop thinking about it.” Maybe you’ve buried it, minimized it, or distracted yourself with work or caretaking. But the truth is, healing doesn’t happen by avoiding. It happens by gently turning toward your experience, with the right support. If you’re here, it means something in you is ready.
At Anchor Health Counseling, we see the strength it takes to even consider therapy for trauma. And we’re here to walk with you, every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Trauma Therapy
What is online trauma therapy, and how does it work?
Online trauma therapy allows you to meet virtually with a licensed therapist from a safe, private space. At Anchor Health Counseling, we use a secure HIPAA-compliant platform to offer trauma-informed therapy that is effective, flexible, and centered around your comfort and needs.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes. Multiple studies show that internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) is as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy for treating anxiety. One peer-reviewed study found that iCBT significantly reduced anxiety symptoms with outcomes comparable to in-person sessions.

We offer next-day appointments in many cases. You can book a free consultation today by calling (847) 826-4119 or submitting a form online, our team will respond within 24 hours.
