Social Anxiety
Kelly O'Connor
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, ADHD-CCSP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting. You might feel the need to rehearse what to say before a conversation, worry about how you came across afterward, or avoid situations where you fear being judged. Even when you want to connect with others, the pressure to say or do the “right” thing can make it hard to feel at ease.
In our work together, we’ll explore what brings up that anxiety and how it affects your daily life. We’ll develop practical ways to respond to anxious thoughts, feel more comfortable in social situations, and approach connection at a pace that feels manageable. I offer a supportive, collaborative space where you can be yourself without pressure to get everything right.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety. She also integrates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.
