For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I would tell them that therapy does not mean something is “wrong” with you. It simply means you are giving yourself space to be heard, supported, and understood. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting, and you do not have to share everything all at once. Therapy can move at your pace, with compassion and without judgment. Even if life feels heavy right now, you do not have to walk through the rain alone.
Hey there, welcome! My name is Lydia Anthony, LPC (#85822). Through Rejoice in the Rain Counseling, I provide individual (1:1) online therapy to adults in Texas and Vermont. Maybe you feel... Powerless against the whirlpool of rapid changes. Drowned by the downpour of fear, worry, and anxiety. Like it's hard to see beyond the dark clouds of depression. Swept away by the waves of hurt, regret, and guilt. Or caught up in a cyclone of self-doubt and insecurity. Let me be your companion through the rain into a new chapter of your life! Becoming a counselor wasn’t just a career choice for me; it was a journey inspired by my own lived experiences, which formed the philosophy that drives my practice: a belief that things will get better, but even in the rain, you can find meaning, inspiration, and beauty. Whether you’re looking for extra support during a difficult time or simply seeking personal growth, know that you’re not alone. A space of care, calm, and compassion awaits you.

It makes sense to feel hesitant. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, and even intimidating. You do not have to have everything figured out before you start, and you do not have to share everything right away. Therapy is not about being judged or “fixed.” It is about having a space where you can show up as you are and move at your own pace. You are allowed to ask questions, set boundaries, and decide what feels right for you. I wish I could tell people to start small. You can begin with what feels easiest to talk about and build from there. Also, pay attention to how you feel with your therapist. Feeling safe and understood is more important than saying the “right” things.
