Social Anxiety therapists in Douglass Hills, 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.
9 Years Experience
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Treating social anxiety requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the condition. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, I collaborate with clients to challenge negative thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually confront feared social situations. Through structured exercises and role-playing, clients learn to reframe anxious thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in their social interactions.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It is important that your provider asks the right questions. oo often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.
