Anxiety and panic care, from a place that already feels safe

When worry will not switch off, or panic arrives out of nowhere, even getting to an appointment can feel like a lot. Visits with Olga Eldridge, PMHNP-BC, happen by secure video from home, anywhere in Missouri.

What anxiety care involves

Anxiety does not always look like visible worry. It can be a racing mind at 2 a.m., a tight chest before meetings, snapping at the people you love, or avoiding plans you used to enjoy. Olga works first to find what is driving it, whether that is ongoing stress, another condition like depression, poor sleep, or something else. Treatment then pairs evidence-based medication options, when they fit, with practical coping strategies you can actually use on a hard day.

Who it helps

Children, teens, adults, and older adults whose worry or panic has started shaping their days: sleep that will not come, trouble concentrating at work or school, or a life that keeps getting smaller to avoid the next wave of anxiety. If you are unsure whether it is "bad enough," this piece on when anxiety is worth talking to a professional about may help you decide.

Your first telehealth visit

You complete a short intake through the secure patient portal first. Then you join a video visit from wherever you are most comfortable in Missouri, no waiting room required. Olga will ask when the anxiety started, what sets it off, what it feels like in your body, how you are sleeping, and what has or has not helped before. The visit is unhurried, so there is room to explain things in your own words, in English or Russian. Together you leave with a plan and a time to check back in.

No. Options are explained and you help shape the plan. Care pairs evidence-based medication options, when clinically appropriate, with practical coping strategies, and the right mix depends on you.
Do you help with panic attacks?
