Social Anxiety
Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients with social anxiety focuses on creating a safe, understanding space where they can explore fears, self-consciousness, and avoidance patterns without judgment. I work collaboratively to help clients identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and gradually build confidence in social situations. Using evidence-informed strategies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, exposure techniques, and skills-building exercises, I support clients in managing anxiety, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem. My goal is to empower clients to engage more fully in their personal and professional lives while developing lasting confidence and resilience in social interactions.

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Therapy with my practice offers individuals a safe place to express their deepest thoughts and emotions with caring and highly trained professionals who are committed to their well-being. My clients come to me to share challenges they may be facing in the present, worries about their future, and/or unresolved past hurts --- with the goals of healing, developing effective tools for personal growth, gaining insight and direction, improving their relationships, and/or improving their over all sense of well being and quality of life. While therapy cannot directly change your external world, it will work to transform the internal world of your mind --- allowing you to live a truly rich and meaningful life. Social anxiety can feel crippling, but I can equip you with highly effective skills to overcome and live a life that is not dictated by fear.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
When social anxiety takes over, even everyday interactions—like making small talk, speaking up in a meeting, or entering a room full of people—can feel like high-stakes survival tests. Reeling from a racing heart, overthinking every word, and fearing judgment, you may find yourself constantly avoiding events or analyzing your performance for hours afterward. You shouldn't have to live under the constant pressure of hyper-vigilance, nor should fear keep you isolated from the connections and opportunities you want.
Our therapists offer a warm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet social panic and regain control. Using targeted, evidence-based approaches—such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and gentle exposure strategies—we partner with you to steady your physical reactions, dismantle catastrophic thinking, and rebuild your confidence at your own pace.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Calm Physical Panic: Master practical grounding and nervous-system regulation tools to soothe racing heartbeats, tension, and acute anxiety before and during social situations.
- Challenge the Fear of Judgment: Untangle the exhausting loop of self-criticism, over-analyzing, and the assumption that others are hyper-focusing on your perceived flaws.
- Reclaim Connection & Ease: Step back into social, personal, and professional environments with confidence—building genuine relationships without the urge to hide or avoid.
You don't have to keep letting social anxiety dictate your life or limit your world. Let’s partner together to help you quiet the noise of self-consciousness, step into any room with calm assurance, and connect with ease.
