Social Anxiety
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who struggle with social anxiety, fear of judgment, or ongoing discomfort in social situations. This can include anxiety around conversations, dating, work interactions, public settings, or being seen and evaluated by others. Social anxiety often leads people to avoid situations they care about or to feel exhausted from constantly monitoring how they come across.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives this anxiety and how it affects your relationships and daily life. I help clients develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, reduce self consciousness, and feel more grounded during social interactions. We also work on building confidence and self trust so that social situations feel less overwhelming over time.
The goal is not to become someone you are not, but to help you show up more comfortably and authentically in relationships, work, and community. With support and practice, many clients find they are able to engage more fully and with less fear.

Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking in groups, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your needs. I work with individuals who experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, or avoidance in social situations, helping them move toward greater confidence and ease in their relationships and daily lives.
Together, we explore the roots of your anxiety, identify specific triggers, and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce fear and build self-assurance. My approach is gentle, supportive, and tailored to your pace, focusing on both skill-building and the emotional insight needed for lasting change.
With time and support, it is possible to shift from avoidance to connection—and to engage more fully in life with authenticity, presence, and self-trust.
