Anxiety Symptoms & Struggles | Victoria, BC
Does your mind feel like it won’t slow down?
Living with anxiety can feel exhausting—“what ifs,” tension in your body, or the fear of losing control can make each day feel heavy. You don’t have to face it alone.
Racing thoughts and constant “what ifs”
Your mind feels stuck on a treadmill of worry—endless “what if” scenarios that make it hard to focus or feel safe.
Physical tension and restlessness
Your body carries the weight of anxiety—tight muscles, rapid heartbeat, or an unshakeable sense of unease that interrupts daily life.
Avoidance of people, places, or situations
You may steer clear of anything that might trigger anxiety—social events, crowded spaces, or even harmless daily tasks—shrinking your world to feel “safe.”
Feeling stuck in fear of the unknown
Uncertainty feels intolerable—“what if” keeps you frozen, making it hard to take steps toward goals or relationships you care about.
Learn to Live Well with Anxiety
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for Anxiety | Victoria, BC
A Compassionate, Values-Driven Approach to Anxiety
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we shift from fighting anxious thoughts to changing how you relate to them—cultivating a life that’s rich and meaningful, even with anxiety present.
ACT teaches you to accept your internal experience (thoughts, feelings, physical sensations) rather than constantly trying to control or eliminate them. By clarifying your values and taking committed action, you build psychological flexibility and learn to live well, even when anxiety arises.

- M.H.Happy Client
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
Before I found Steve, I was lost in my addiction to cocaine and pornography. Three years ago I was suicidal after being arrested and charged by police. From the very first session Steve met me without judgement and helped me see that my addiction wasn't who I was, but rather a wound that I could heal. Steve helped me overcome the shame of being an addict and blowing up my life and today I have a life free of addiction that is better than I could have ever imagined. - L.D.Happy Client
👉 Tap & Hold to Stop
Steve helped my partner and I save our marriage. I was full of hurt, anger and resentment. Steve helped us learn to create safety, rebuild trust, and communicate in a gentle open way without attacking. Today our relationship feels stronger than it ever has! - P.N.Happy Client

When I met Steve, I was drowning in anxiety and stress. Steve created a space where I finally felt safe enough to slow down and start unpacking what I'd been carrying. Not until I met Steve did I feel so fully understood and seen. He was able to resonate so deeply with me. - E.L.Happy Client

Anxiety Therapist in Victoria, BC — In-Person & Online
Your Partner in Finding Ease
I’m Steve Price, RCC. As a therapist who has personally walked through the challenges of anxiety, I don’t just understand it clinically—I know how it feels from the inside out.
I’ve lived with a mind that wouldn’t slow down, felt overwhelmed by “what ifs,” and carried the constant weight of tension in my body. That lived experience shapes the way I show up with my clients: with deep empathy, patience, and the belief that real change is possible.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients reduce the impact of anxiety by shifting focus from controlling or eliminating anxious thoughts to changing how they relate to them. Rather than fighting anxiety, ACT empowers you to accept your internal experience while committing to actions that align with your values—building psychological flexibility.
By focusing on values-based action and practical skills—like mindful breathing and grounding techniques—you’ll learn to live a life that feels grounded, open, and free, even when anxiety arises.
If you’re ready to walk alongside someone who truly gets it—and build a life that feels rich and meaningful despite anxiety—I’m here to help, whether in my Victoria office (near Lagoon Beach) or online across BC.
