I operated with the same anxiety you did and spent an entire year worth of sessions on cash with an American therapist. Did me a world of good, accelerated my career my confidence, probably the best $ I've spent as an adult - my only advice is if you've realized you need therapy no point in procrastinating just get it. Depending on who you get and how honest you are with the process it can be truly life changing.
The second year I realized I was over thinking the "having it on record" fear and switched to my insurance provider. Havent run into any issues, haven't come across a single professional document where I have to disclose if I was seeking therapy.
Good luck - go for it !
Goes without saying they can 100% help with anxiety but they cannot make the immigration issue go away. ICE will continue the raids and this admin may continue to implement restrictive policies. A therapist , India or US cannot treat someone of a specific political issue. They cannot tell you that it will go away, but they can help you accept it mentally.
But talking in general help. And they may guide you on coping mechanisms. Medical records are protected, but again, you are dealing with an administration that has no problems with sharing social security records. Point being , talk to a therapist but you must understand and accept the political landscape and have practical solutions in place.
