Dating Anxiety

Dating can bring up intense anxiety, whether it’s the pressure of first dates, fear of rejection, overthinking text messages, or feeling like you’ll never find the right person. If dating apps leave you feeling drained, discouraged, or more anxious than hopeful, you’re not alone. Dating anxiety is incredibly common, and therapy can help you navigate the modern dating world with more confidence and less stress.

At Care Pack Counseling, dating anxiety is one of our specialties. Our founder Aaron Wolfe completed his PhD dissertation research on dating anxiety and the role of dating apps as a moderating factor, giving our practice a deep, research-backed understanding of what makes dating so difficult today. We use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you manage anxious thoughts, build self-confidence, and develop healthier patterns in how you approach relationships.

We offer dating anxiety therapy online throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine so you can get expert support from wherever you are. In-person sessions are also available at our Manchester, NH office. Ready to take the stress out of dating? Contact us today to schedule an appointment. Same week availability is often possible.
