Social Anxiety
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for social anxiety and related challenges, including fear of judgment, excessive self-consciousness, avoidance of social situations, difficulty speaking in groups, performance anxiety, and discomfort in interpersonal interactions. Social anxiety can significantly impact relationships, work performance, confidence, and overall quality of life, often leading to isolation, stress, and reduced self-esteem.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to social anxiety therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional and psychological factors that contribute to fear and avoidance in social settings. Many individuals with social anxiety have experienced past criticism, embarrassment, rejection, bullying, or other distressing social experiences that continue to shape how they perceive and respond to social environments.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce anxiety responses, and build greater confidence in social situations. Therapy focuses on calming the nervous system, shifting negative beliefs about self and others, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to identify triggers, explore underlying fears, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety in real-world social settings. Treatment is personalized and supportive, helping clients gradually increase comfort, confidence, and authenticity in their interactions with others.
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate personality or force social performance, but to help clients feel more at ease being themselves, build meaningful connections, and reduce the fear and avoidance that interfere with daily life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond social anxiety, feel more grounded in social situations, and engage with others in a way that feels natural, confident, and authentic.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with social anxiety, I help clients explore the fears and self-conscious thoughts that can arise in social or performance situations. Social anxiety often involves both mental patterns and a nervous system that becomes easily activated. Together we work to gently build awareness, regulate the body’s stress response, and develop greater confidence so you can engage with others in a way that feels more comfortable and authentic.

Social Anxiety
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social anxiety is more than shyness or being introverted. It is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed, or seen in a negative light that makes ordinary social situations feel genuinely threatening. For many men, it shows up as dreading conversations, avoiding situations where attention might land on them, replaying interactions afterward looking for what went wrong, or holding back in professional and personal settings in ways that quietly limit their lives.
The frustrating part is that social anxiety often coexists with real capability. Many of the men I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and accomplished in other areas. The anxiety is not about lacking social skills. It is about a deeply ingrained pattern of threat perception that fires in situations where it does not need to, and a set of avoidance behaviors that provide short term relief while making the anxiety stronger over time.
In our work together, we get specific about where social anxiety is showing up, what is driving it, and what it is costing you. We work on the thought patterns that fuel it, build practical skills for navigating the situations you have been avoiding, and develop a more grounded and realistic way of relating to other people and to yourself in social contexts.
My approach is direct and structured. I do not believe in simply processing anxiety indefinitely. I believe in building the kind of confidence that comes from actual experience, supported by the right tools and a clear plan for getting there.
If social anxiety has been holding you back and you are ready to address it, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

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.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification related to avoidance based fear/anxiety behaviors and habits. I have helped people effectively approach their fears and anxiety with the goal of improved functioning and quality of life.
The guidance that I'll provide you with helps build up the skills you need in your day-to-day life when making small and major decisions. I can help you achieve a better life balance. Learning when to pause and enjoy the moment, rather than stressing about what you did or didn’t do, or where you need to be or what you need to do next. People often have the tendency to let their past, patterns, or habits determine their present and future. I can help you find a way to roll with the waves of life in a more manageable way. There are unpredictable storms along the way, and I can provide the skills and tools for managing through the storms. I can help you find a new way to move forward in life rather than trying to anchor down in the storm. I can help you recognize that the tides tend to change, and you can find your way to calmer waters. I would love to help you find the right path forward for you on your journey.
I believe that nothing in life is truly just a mistake unless you learn nothing from it. Many of us learn things the best the hard way. These life lessons and experiences are where true wisdom can come from . I find that being straight forward with people in a kind, caring manner can lead to gains quicker. I don't judge people for choices made in the past, as our past helps us learn to grow and develop into what we hope to be. The potential for change is one of the greatest human abilities. When someone desires to change and decides to do it for themselves, then growth is always possible. Having a great therapist can be the missing key as to why change has been so hard in the past. Over my 15 years as a therapist, I learned that helping others be more intentional about life can be a game changer. If you are doubtful about your own change, I can be your confidence and I am always up for a challenge.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services to those who may self-identify as socially anxious. If you often feel stuck between wanting to feel seen and wanting to remain invisible, I'd love to help you explore and navigate relationships.
