Social Anxiety
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Social anxiety is often described as shyness, but for many people, it feels much more intense—overthinking every interaction, worrying about how you’re coming across, replaying conversations afterward, or avoiding situations altogether because the discomfort feels too high. It can make everyday things—meeting new people, speaking up, even casual interactions—feel exhausting. And in environments that are fast-paced, socially demanding, or unclear, that anxiety can build quickly.
For some, social anxiety is also connected to neurodivergence—such as ADHD, autism, or giftedness—where social dynamics may feel less intuitive, more effortful, or shaped by past experiences of being misunderstood. That context matters, and it changes how we approach the work.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat social anxiety as something to “push through” without support. We help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and how your specific patterns developed. From there, we actively build practical, realistic strategies—whether that’s managing physical anxiety, shifting thought patterns, or gradually increasing comfort in social situations in ways that feel doable. We also name the cultural and systemic factors that shape social expectations, so you’re not holding yourself to standards that may not actually fit you. This work is about helping you feel more at ease, more confident, and more able to show up as yourself—without constantly second-guessing or shrinking.

Mary Jean Elder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, Ed. S, LCMHC
Social anxiety can limit ones ability to engage in a fulfilling life. Often our worries about what others think about us or the fear that we are going to do something embarrassing or that others are going to judge us. These type of thoughts keep us from engaging often by avoiding situations or remaining silent when in groups. Often these thoughts are developed over years of being criticized or punished for behaviors in groups or irrational beliefs we have about ourselves and others. With exploring our history and how it is influencing our core beliefs that hold us back from enjoying life.

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
Social anxiety is one of my specialties and honestly one of my favorite things to work on with clients. Why? Because it's actually a mental health issue that responds really well to the right approaches. If you're willing to put in the work and practice what I teach you, you're going to see some pretty amazing progress. I've watched so many clients break free from social anxiety over the years, and these are the same techniques that helped me work through my own social fears. I also have tons of experience helping people get over their fear of public speaking, which usually goes hand in hand with social anxiety.
