Social Anxiety

Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Social Anxiety is a frequent presenting concern for clients. Often this results in and is perpetuated by avoidance of social situations, and quite frequently is accompanies by uncomfortable physiologic reactions in social situations experienced as threatening. Usually it is the avoidance of the threatening situations that prevent the person from becoming desensitized. On a very simple level, supporting my clients in developing effective ways to calm themselves such as through relaxation training, meditation, or even clinical hypnosis then can be used to help them be able to tolerate gradually increasing their exposure to the threatening situations. If desired, I can support clients in applying a behavioral approach to social anxiety using techniques such as systematic desensitization. Frequently too do I augment this with clinical hypnosis in preparing clients for successfully expanding their social activity. In other cases, working with the beliefs and expectations they have can be helpful using cognitive therapy, either formally or in a more conversational approach. A guiding principal I apply is to empower the client to be actively involved in planning the approach and to continually emphasize the choices they are making rather than have them experience themselves as passively participating in a treatment.

Irvine, California therapist: Chelsea Sutter, marriage and family therapist
Social Anxiety

Chelsea Sutter

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Social anxiety can have a multitude of causes, such as experiencing various forms of trauma or growing up neurodivergent. Ultimately one learns they cannot trust others or themselves, which can often turn into isolation and depression as well. My hope as a therapist is to provide a space where clients can unmask and safely process their experiences, so they can learn to believe in themselves again.

Newport Beach, California therapist: Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, psychologist
Social Anxiety

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott

Psychologist, PsyD.
Cognitive behavioral therapy uses a variety of direct methods to help patients modify their thoughts and emotional reactions to stressors like social situations. Using psychodynamic techniques, we will work together to gain insight into the emotional roots of unhealthy attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Based on the idea that avoiding the things we fear tends to reinforce anxiety, exposure therapy encourages people to encounter the sources of their anxieties in a controlled, deliberate way.

Laguna Niguel, California therapist: Nancie Kohlenberger, marriage and family therapist
Social Anxiety

Nancie Kohlenberger

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some of us get anxious in social situations where we feel we have lost control. We tend to shy away from those situations. We can feel small and self-conscious. It is important to gain self-confidence so that social situations do not get the best of us. I utilize EMDR and EFT to support growth and a feeling of presence in these stressful situations.
