Kiara Brown LPC Owner and Therapist at Lunar Counseling

You’re the One Who’s Always “Okay.”

But are you?

You take care of everyone else. You manage your work, keep your relationships afloat, and rarely let anything drop. On the outside, you’re the calm, capable one.

But inside, you feel anxious, overstimulated, and overwhelmed.

You wonder:

  • “Why am I the one holding everything together?”

  • “Is it selfish to want space?”

  • “Will they still need me if I stop over-functioning?”

If you're living in Burlington, VT, and feel like anxiety has become your default mode—this space is for you.

A Therapy Space Where You Can Finally Exhale

Hi, I’m Kiara Brown, a trauma-informed therapist offering online therapy across Vermont. I specialize in helping people who are:

🌀 Emotionally overloaded but still pushing through
🌀 Caretakers, partners, and high performers who are quietly unraveling
🌀 Living in their head, anxious and overthinking—but tired of feeling stuck

In therapy, we slow down the anxiety spiral and make space for your own voice to come forward—one that’s not shaped by guilt, expectations, or performance.

Does This Sound Familiar?

✔ You have a hard time expressing your needs without guilt
✔ You carry the emotional weight in your family or relationships
✔ You’re constantly scanning for what others need—while ignoring your own body
✔ You’re often tense, tired, or running on empty
✔ You feel stuck between being supportive and being overwhelmed
✔ Your anxiety has become a background hum you can’t silence

These are not just quirks—they’re signals.
And when we listen, real change can begin.

The constant feeling of pushing a rock up a hill with your anxiety therapy is the place to get the help you need.

A Note for the You That’s Been Holding It All

Hello Friend,

When you first thought about therapy, you probably imagined needing to “fix” yourself. You thought you had to earn rest by doing everything for everyone.

But therapy isn’t about fixing—it’s about freeing.

At some point, you realized that always being “the strong one” was costing you your peace. You started to ask:

“What do I actually need?”
“Is there more than this constant pressure?”

That was your nervous system asking to be heard.

You began making small changes—saying no to an extra task, taking a quiet walk instead of people-pleasing, breathing a little deeper. And in those moments, you started becoming yourself again.

Therapy is the container for this kind of reclamation. You don’t have to carry it all to be loved. You don’t have to be perfect to deserve care.

In therapy together we will:

🔹 Explore why you feel responsible for everyone else—and how to shift that dynamic
🔹 Unpack family patterns (like parentification) that taught you to self-abandon
🔹 Learn to set boundaries that feel doable, not harsh
🔹 Use evidence-based tools like EMDR to work through anxiety from the root
🔹 Reconnect with your body so you can feel safe, calm, and whole

What Life Can Look Like After Therapy?

🌿 You’ll feel more connected to your needs—and able to honor them
🌿 You’ll navigate relationships without guilt or resentment
🌿 You’ll build a life where peace and productivity can coexist
🌿 You’ll have tools to slow down racing thoughts and respond with clarity
🌿 You’ll finally get to be you—not just the version of you that takes care of everyone else

You don’t have to carry the weight of the world alone. Join me in therapy, and let’s build a life where you feel valued, balanced, and at peace.

Looking for Deeper Relief? Try an Anxiety Therapy Intensive

Some clients in Burlington prefer to go deeper, faster.

Anxiety Therapy Intensives are powerful 1–4 day sessions designed to accelerate healing—especially when anxiety feels chronic or deeply rooted. With a trauma-informed approach, including EMDR, we create space for clarity, emotional relief, and nervous system reset.

Instead of waiting months for progress, intensives allow you to shift more quickly—with support every step of the way.

Things clients have said to me after session:

“I feel like you really care and are here to give me tools to actually use to decrease my anxiety.”

If you were to talk to one of my clients, they’re likely to say:

“I finally found the right fit with Kiara and have started to make more progress than I have with previous therapists in the past.”

Even if you choose not to work with me, I want you to know:
