Social Anxiety
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Social Anxiety
Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.

Social Anxiety
Jan Nelson LCSW-R
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, MSW
Social anxiety comes from thoughts and thoughts alone. We can work with these thoughts to shift them two more reasonable and realistic ones.

Social Anxiety
Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Please also see the description under 'anxiety or fears'. Social anxiety can hamper the trajectory of life- not meeting people you could have met, not having friends that could have been there for you, and reinforcing anxiety in all its forms while increasing isolation. It is tied to self-judgment, fear of embarrassment, endless 'playbacks' of conversations in the mind, and memories of other situations. But like anxiety in general, it is something that can be overcome. Sometimes we find that what we think of as scary to the point of being unapproachable is much more tame and harmless than we expected, once we get a closer look at the thing we fear.

I work with clients to reduce social anxiety using evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotional regulation skills. Treatment helps clients build confidence, manage nervousness, and engage more fully in social and professional life.

Social Anxiety
Lisa Taylor-Austin
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, LMHC, CFMHE, CFBA, LCPC, LCMHC
Social anxiety responds very well to evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and gradual exposure. In our work together, we would take a thoughtful and structured approach—identifying the thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety while slowly building comfort and confidence in social situations. Over time, this process can help you feel more at ease, capable, and self-assured in your interactions with others.
