Social Anxiety therapists in Lyndon, Kentucky KY
Melissa Pickett, LPCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I normally treat social anxiety with CBT, ACT and/or ERP. ERP has been shown to be effective in treating social anxiety disorders, coming up with ways to challenge the anxiety and fears.
My plan is to start with less anxiety provoking situations (even imaginary situations!) and working our way up to more challenging ones as we accomplish the smaller goals.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.

Baumann Psychology

I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to treating social anxiety that explores a client's history and experience with social situations as well as learning new skills for managing negative thoughts and worries about one's self that arise in response to social situations. We will also establish collaborative goals for improvement in social situations and I will support you in practicing and pursuing satisfying social connections.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
This is a persistent, high level of fear for a social or performance event. Often individuals are around unfamiliar people and perceive themselves as being criticized by others. The individual fears that they will embarrass or humiliate themselves. This could occur at a party, a presentation at work, talking on the phone, making a speech, participating in a workshop, meeting the parents of your child’s friends, or even attending church. A very common version of this, particularly for children, is school phobia. Often school phobia is complicated by bullying, fears of the parents’ safety, or learning deficits.
