Social Anxiety
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
For treating social anxiety, I use a collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we'll identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that fuel your anxiety in social situations. By gradually exposing you to feared situations in a safe and structured way, we work to reduce the power of those fears. Over time, this process helps you build confidence, improve your social skills, and foster a greater sense of control in interactions. Ultimately, my goal is to help you engage more freely and comfortably with others, improving your social experiences and overall well-being.

Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, risky, or overanalyzed long after they are over. It may show up as fear of being judged, difficulty speaking up, avoiding certain people or situations, replaying conversations, or feeling tense in groups, dating, work, family, or community settings. In therapy, I help clients understand the thoughts, fears, and past experiences that may be keeping social anxiety in place. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work on building confidence, reducing overthinking, strengthening self-acceptance, and developing tools that help you show up more fully and comfortably in your relationships and daily life.

True social anxiety is debilitating, overwhelming, and draining. It is also painful for those who want to have meaningful relationships, but as of yet, can't cope with the ongoing effort entailed to make it happen. Therapy will examine your specific trigger thoughts and situations, problematic recurring patterns, and identify reasonable goals for you to improve upon your comfort level and relationships.

Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
If the thought of walking into a room full of people, speaking up in a meeting, or making small talk leaves you feeling exposed, judged, or frozen, you are not alone. Social anxiety can make your world feel incredibly small. In our sessions, we will create a safe, paced space to challenge the harsh inner critic that tells you everyone is watching or judging. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I will help you tame physical panic symptoms, quiet the mind-racing "what-ifs," and gradually build authentic social confidence.

Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Do you secretly hope your friends will cancel the plans you have made with them or spend time trying to figure out how to get out of social events because the thought of interacting with people or even walking into the even terrifies you? Social anxiety can be extremely crippling, and those of us who deal with it often struggle from loneliness and isolation even though those same social situations we crave so desperately also overwhelm us tremendously. In therapy you can learn new strategies to manage your anxiety, learn ways of creating friends AND showing up to enjoy them, and ways to create a community of people that “get” you and have space for you however you choose to show up. We can also help you learn to love ALL of the facets of your life- including the moments where you get to show up to spend time with others and the times you are alone. I find that online therapy is particularly good for social anxiety because we can work together in any place you feel safe and comfortable in and work together to help you stretch and strengthen your ability to interact socially.
