Whatever you’re carrying

Anxiety is the most common reason people seek therapy — and one of the most treatable.

Whether it shows up as persistent worry, social discomfort, panic attacks, health anxiety, or that low-grade tension that's just always there, anxiety exists on a spectrum. At LANTERN, therapists use evidence-based approaches — primarily CBT, ACT, and mindfulness — to help you understand what's driving your anxiety and build lasting tools to manage it. You don't have to feel calm to start; you just have to be willing to begin.

Depression is not a character flaw, and it's not something you can simply decide your way out of.

It can look like persistent sadness, emotional numbness, loss of motivation, disrupted sleep, difficulty concentrating, or a sense that nothing really matters. It can also be subtle — a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow. Therapy for depression works best when it combines behavioral activation (doing things, even when you don't feel like it) with deeper work on the thoughts and patterns keeping you stuck. LANTERN therapists are trained in evidence-based depression treatment and will meet you where you are.

Burnout is not just being tired. It's what happens when sustained stress erodes your sense of meaning and capacity to cope.

It often arrives quietly — you stop caring about things you used to care about, small things feel impossible, and rest doesn't actually restore you. Burnout is especially common among high-achieving people, caregivers, healthcare workers, and people holding multiple roles at once. Therapy can help you identify what's depleting you, rebuild your relationship with rest and limits, and — when it's needed — grieve what the version of you that burned out lost.

Relationship difficulties — whether in a partnership, family, or friendship — are among the most painful human experiences.

LANTERN therapists support individuals navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, infidelity, attachment wounds, codependency, separation, and the complex grief of relationships that shift or end. For couples, our EFT and Gottman-trained therapists help partners find each other again — or, when the time has come, part with clarity and care. Relationship work requires honesty, and our therapists create the conditions for it.

Grief is not a problem to solve. It's a natural, deeply human response to loss — and it takes as long as it takes.

Loss takes many forms: the death of someone you loved, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a diagnosis, the loss of a version of yourself or your life you expected to have. Grief can feel isolating — like the world has moved on while you haven't. Therapy for grief doesn't rush you toward resolution. It creates a space where the loss can be held, witnessed, and integrated into a continuing life.

Trauma is not what happened to you. It's what happened inside you as a result of what happened to you.

Traumatic experiences — whether a single event or years of chronic difficulty — leave marks on the nervous system that therapy can help address. LANTERN's trauma specialists use proven approaches including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, somatic methods, and IFS. Trauma therapy is paced to your window of tolerance; nothing is forced. If you've ever been told to "just get over it", you deserve a therapist who understands why it's not that simple.

Poor sleep is rarely just a physical problem — and sleeping pills are rarely the whole answer.

Insomnia, restless sleep, early waking, or difficulty falling asleep are often tangled up with anxiety, depression, stress, or the habits we've built around sleep over years. CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is the gold-standard behavioral treatment for chronic insomnia — more effective than medication in the long run, and without the side effects. LANTERN's CBT-I trained therapists can help you rebuild a healthy relationship with sleep.

Questions of who you are — and whether you're enough — sit at the heart of so much human suffering.

Work on identity and self-worth is some of the most meaningful therapy there is. It might involve exploring your sense of self across cultural or family contexts, processing shame, rebuilding self-esteem after a difficult period, navigating a major life transition, or simply learning to treat yourself with the same care you extend to others. LANTERN therapists approach this work with genuine curiosity and respect for the complexity of who you are.
