Virtual IOP for Anxiety – California

Virtual IOP for Anxiety

Real Help, Real Flexibility for Working Adults

If you’re dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, or a sense of panic that won’t quit — you’re not alone. Millions of Americans struggle with anxiety disorders, and many of them are working long hours trying to hold it all together. At Redeemed Mental Health in Newport Beach, California, we know it’s not always realistic to take time off work to get help. That’s why we offer a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (Virtual IOP) for anxiety that fits your schedule — not the other way around.

What Is a Virtual IOP for Anxiety?

A Virtual IOP is a structured, evidence-based treatment program that you can attend online — from home, the job site, or even your parked truck during break. It’s designed to help you manage anxiety symptoms like excessive worry, sleep problems, panic attacks, or irritability without having to check into a facility or step away from your responsibilities.

Our intensive outpatient program is perfect for people dealing with moderate to severe anxiety, as well as those who’ve just left residential treatment and need continued support. It combines individual therapy, group sessions, and medication management — all led by experienced mental health professionals who care.

Why You Can Trust Redeemed Mental Health

If you’re someone who solves problems on the go or supports your family through honest hard work, you don’t want fluff — you want results. At Redeemed Mental Health, our team is clinician-owned and led by Dr. Andrea Wagner, a seasoned psychologist with real-world experience across professional, military, correctional, and hospital settings. We’re not here to talk in circles — we’re here to help you get better.

We use proven strategies like CBT, backed by research and years of practice. And if you’re dealing with mental health issues beyond anxiety — like depression or trauma — we can address those too, all within the same intensive outpatient program.

Common Anxiety Disorders We Treat

At Redeemed Mental Health, we treat anxiety disorders like:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

  • Panic Disorder

  • Social Anxiety Disorder

  • Separation Anxiety Disorder

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related phobias

Whether you’ve been living with anxiety for years or it’s something new, we’ll work with you to build a plan that fits your life and gives you tools that actually help.

Signs You Might Need Support

Not sure if you’re struggling with an anxiety disorder? Some of the most common anxiety symptoms we see include:

  • Constant, uncontrollable worry

  • Trouble sleeping or relaxing

  • Racing thoughts

  • Muscle tension, headaches, or stomach issues

  • Panic attacks or feeling like something bad is about to happen

  • Avoiding situations, people, or places out of fear

  • Feeling irritable, restless, or like you can’t focus

  • Always fearing you’re being judged or watched

These symptoms aren’t just “in your head.” They’re signs of real, treatable mental health conditions — and we’re here to help you take control again.

How Our Virtual IOP Works

Once you reach out to Redeemed Mental Health, you’ll meet with a licensed mental health provider for an assessment. From there, we’ll build a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

Your virtual intensive outpatient program may include:

Weekly individual therapy sessions with your primary therapist

Each week, you’ll meet one-on-one with your primary therapist, a dedicated mental health professional who gets to know your personal story, your struggles, and your goals. These private sessions give you space to work through difficult thoughts, past experiences, and ongoing worries in a way that’s honest and judgment-free. Your therapist will also track your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed — because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Group therapy to connect with others and practice real-life skills

Group therapy is a powerful part of our Virtual IOP because it reminds you that you’re not in this alone. In these sessions, you’ll connect with others who are facing similar challenges — whether it’s severe anxiety, panic attacks, or constant stress. With the guidance of a trained facilitator, you’ll build coping skills, learn better communication, and get real-world strategies to help manage daily life. It’s a safe space to be heard and supported, even virtually.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – the gold standard for treating anxiety disorders

At Redeemed, we emphasize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because research consistently shows it’s the most effective approach to treat anxiety disorders. CBT helps you recognize unhelpful thinking patterns — like assuming the worst or second-guessing yourself — and replace them with more balanced, realistic thoughts. It’s not about pretending everything’s okay — it’s about taking back control from your anxiety and building healthier responses to life’s stressors.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction and relaxation techniques

Anxiety tends to keep the mind racing and the body tense. That’s where Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and simple relaxation techniques come in. You’ll learn how to slow your thoughts, calm your body, and stay grounded in the present moment — even when your anxiety tries to pull you into panic. These practices aren’t just “feel-good” fluff — they’re practical tools to help you find calm in the chaos of everyday life.

Medication management, when necessary, to help reduce symptoms

For some people, therapy alone isn’t enough to manage anxiety symptoms — and that’s okay. Our licensed mental health providers can help you explore safe, effective medications when needed, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or other options. Through medication management, we make sure you’re on the right dose, monitor for side effects, and support you every step of the way. It’s all about finding what works best for your body and brain.

Optional family therapy to improve communication and support at home

When you’re working on your mental health, having the support of your loved ones can make a big difference. That’s why we offer optional family therapy as part of our Virtual IOP. These sessions help you and your family members communicate better, understand anxiety more clearly, and work as a team. Whether it’s a spouse, parent, or sibling, family involvement can help everyone feel more supported and aligned in your healing journey.

Everything is done virtually, through secure online platforms, so you can keep your routine and still get the care you deserve.

Understanding Anxiety, Depression, and Psychosis

Anxiety, depression, and psychosis are common mental health disorders that can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. But what exactly are these disorders, and how do they affect us? Let’s take a closer look.

Symptoms

Each of these disorders presents with unique symptoms.

Anxiety

Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry. Symptoms can vary from person to person, but common signs include:

  • Restlessness: Feeling on edge or being unable to sit still.
  • Fatigue: Feeling tired all the time, even after a good night’s sleep.
  • Difficulty concentrating: Struggling to focus on tasks or frequently finding your mind going blank.
  • Irritability: Feeling easily annoyed or angered.
  • Muscle tension: Experiencing frequent muscle aches or stiffness.
  • Sleep problems: Having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless and unsatisfying sleep.

Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or going through a rough patch. It’s a serious mental health condition that requires understanding and treatment. Here are some common symptoms:

  • Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood: Feeling down most of the day, nearly every day.
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities: No longer finding joy in things you once enjoyed.
  • Changes in appetite or weight: Significant weight loss or weight gain, or decrease or increase in appetite.
  • Sleeping too much or too little: Insomnia or oversleeping nearly every day.
  • Feeling worthless or guilty: Feeling bad about yourself or feeling guilty over things that aren’t your fault.
  • Difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions: Struggling to focus, remember things, or make decisions.

Psychosis

Psychosis is characterized by an impaired relationship with reality. It’s a symptom of serious mental disorders. People who are experiencing psychosis may have either hallucinations or delusions.

  • Hallucinations: Seeing, hearing, or feeling things that aren’t there. For example, hearing voices or seeing people who aren’t there.
  • Delusions: Strong beliefs that aren’t true and that the person holds, even when presented with factual information. For example, the belief that outside forces are controlling their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
  • Thought disorders: Ways of thinking that are disorganized, confused, or nonsensical.
  • Movement disorders: Agitated or abnormal body movements.

Causes

The causes of these disorders are complex and multifaceted, involving a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. It’s like a puzzle with many pieces – each piece plays a part, and the picture isn’t complete without all of them.

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders can be caused by a variety of factors:

  • Genetics: Anxiety disorders can run in families, suggesting that a combination of genes and environmental stresses can produce the disorders.
  • Brain chemistry: Changes in the areas and pathways of the brain that control fear and other emotions.
  • Environmental factors: Elements in the environment around an individual can increase anxiety. This includes things like trauma, abuse, death of a loved one, or long-term stress.

Depression

Depression is often caused by a combination of factors:

  • Biological differences: People with depression appear to have physical changes in their brains.
  • Brain chemistry: Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring brain chemicals that likely play a role in depression.
  • Hormones: Changes in the body’s balance of hormones may be involved in causing or triggering depression.
  • Inherited traits: Depression is more common in people whose blood relatives also have the condition.

Psychosis

Psychosis can be caused by various conditions:

  • Psychiatric disorders: Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, and PTSD can lead to psychosis.
  • Physical illness or injury: Traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, strokes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and HIV can cause psychosis.
  • Substance use: The use of certain drugs, such as marijuana, LSD, amphetamines, and alcohol, can trigger a psychotic episode.

Treatments

Paranoid Personality DisorderTreatment for these disorders typically involves a combination of medication and therapy. At Redeemed Mental Health, we offer a range of treatment options, including Individual Therapy, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP).

Anxiety

Treatment for anxiety often involves a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is especially useful in treating anxiety disorders. CBT teaches you different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to anxiety-producing and fearful situations. Medications, including antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs, can also be used to manage symptoms.

Depression

Depression is usually treated with medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. If these treatments do not reduce symptoms, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and other brain stimulation therapies may be options to explore. Lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep habits, increasing physical activity, and eating a healthy diet, can also help manage symptoms of depression.

Psychosis

Psychosis is typically treated with a combination of medications (usually antipsychotic medications) and psychotherapy. Early treatment is important, as it can help to manage symptoms and improve the long-term prognosis. In some cases, hospitalization may be needed if the person’s symptoms are severe or if they are at risk of harming themselves or others.
