Diana Freitas, MSW, Registered Social Worker

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults seeking anxiety therapy in Ontario, with a particular focus on chronic worry, overthinking, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I work with individuals who experience generalized anxiety, social anxiety, performance anxiety, and anxiety related to work stress, relationships, perfectionism, and life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, and unsure how to quiet a constant sense of pressure or self-doubt. My practice specializes in supporting adults who struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic. This often includes high-functioning adults, professionals, caregivers, and overachievers who appear capable on the outside but internally feel inadequate, disconnected, or never “good enough.” I frequently work with clients experiencing low self-worth, chronic self-judgment, difficulty trusting themselves, and fear of making mistakes or disappointing others. I also provide therapy for adults navigating major life transitions, including leaving the family home, changes in relationships, career transitions, burnout, grief, and identity shifts. Many of the individuals I support feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, have difficulty making decisions, or feel stuck between wanting change and fearing it. Therapy often focuses on building emotional resilience, increasing self-trust, and learning how to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions with more flexibility and compassion. My approach to psychotherapy integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to reduce anxiety, manage worry, loosen the grip of perfectionism, and develop healthier patterns around boundaries, self-criticism, and people-pleasing. Therapy is skills-based, supportive, and focused on helping clients live with more ease, confidence, and alignment with their values. I offer individual therapy for adults aged 16 and older, with virtual psychotherapy available across Ontario, and in-person therapy in Bradford, Ontario. I work with clients seeking anxiety therapy, perfectionism therapy, and support for stress, burnout, and self-esteem concerns in a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment.
