On the outside, everything looks great. You’re productive, dependable, and always on the go. But on the inside? You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling like you’re one step away from falling apart.
This is what high-functioning anxiety often looks like—and it’s more common than you think, especially among busy professionals and high-achievers in Miami, FL.
At Dr. Coral Arvon & Associates, we offer specialized therapy that helps clients manage high-functioning anxiety without sacrificing success, relationships, or peace of mind.
Here’s how therapy can help you regain control, clarity, and calm.
1. Recognize the Signs of High-Functioning Anxiety
High-functioning anxiety often goes undiagnosed because people with it tend to “perform well.” But underneath the polished exterior, you might be dealing with:
- Constant worry or racing thoughts
- Trouble sleeping or relaxing—even on vacation
- Perfectionism or fear of failure
- People-pleasing or avoiding conflict
- Physical symptoms like muscle tension, stomach aches, or headaches
Therapy helps you connect the dots between your behaviors and the anxiety driving them.
2. Break the Burnout Cycle
If your anxiety drives you to “do more, try harder, never stop,” you may be on the road to burnout. Many of our clients in Miami say things like:
“I can’t stop. If I slow down, I feel like I’ll fall behind.”
This relentless pressure is not sustainable.
In therapy, you’ll learn to:
- Set boundaries around work and obligations
- Reframe your relationship with productivity
- Practice real rest (not just numbing out with Netflix or scrolling)
3. Get Off the Mental Hamster Wheel
Overthinking is a hallmark of high-functioning anxiety. You replay conversations, anticipate worst-case scenarios, and constantly try to “get ahead” of problems that haven’t happened.
We teach proven tools like:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to rewire thought patterns
- Mindfulness to stay grounded in the present
- Journaling and somatic strategies to calm the nervous system
Our Miami therapists tailor these tools to fit your lifestyle and personality.
4. Protect Your Relationships (Including with Yourself)
High-functioning anxiety often comes with emotional suppression. You smile through the stress, but your inner world feels chaotic.
This can strain:
- Romantic relationships
- Friendships
- Your relationship with yourself
Therapy gives you a space to express what you’ve been holding in—and helps you show up more authentically in your relationships.
