Anxiety Therapist
Austin, TX
Anxiety doesn't have to run your life. Evidence-based therapy helps you understand the root of your anxiety, break the cycle of worry, and build real tools for lasting calm.
When Worry Becomes More Than Worry
Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in the United States — and one of the most treatable. But when it goes unaddressed, it can quietly take over your relationships, your work, your sleep, and your sense of who you are.
For many Latinx clients, anxiety is compounded by cultural expectations: the pressure to be strong, to not burden others, to keep going no matter what. Marilu understands this intersection and creates space where you don't have to explain your background.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches, Marilu helps clients identify the thought patterns driving their anxiety and build practical tools for managing it in real life.
Signs Your Anxiety May Need Professional Support

Racing thoughts, worst-case-scenario thinking, or an inability to 'turn off' your mind.

Canceling plans, avoiding situations, or procrastinating to escape the discomfort of anxiety.

How Marilu Treats Anxiety
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is the gold standard for anxiety treatment. It helps you identify the thought patterns that trigger anxiety and replace them with more accurate, balanced thinking.
EMDR for Anxiety Rooted in Trauma
When anxiety is linked to past experiences, EMDR can process those memories and reduce their emotional charge — breaking the cycle at its root.
Mindfulness & Somatic Techniques
Practical, body-based tools to regulate your nervous system in the moment — breathing techniques, grounding exercises, and mindfulness practices you can use anywhere.
