Social Anxiety
Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and confident in social situations, but instead you are afraid you will look stupid, embarrass yourself, or be rejected. It has been hard for you to manage this level of social anxiety on your own. Each day it becomes more difficult to focus on anything other than those worst-case scenarios that your mind so quickly creates. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from social anxiety. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Social Anxiety
Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt your heart race—wondering what people are thinking about you, or wishing you could disappear before anyone notices? Social anxiety can make even simple moments—talking in class, attending church, meeting new people—feel like survival. Over time, the worry turns into withdrawal, and loneliness begins to take root.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand how exhausting it is to overthink every word and every glance. Our Christian counselors help you quiet the noise of self-criticism, retrain your body’s stress response, and build confidence that lasts beyond the next conversation.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use faith-integrated, evidence-based methods—including CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic grounding, and exposure techniques—combined with biblical truth and compassionate guidance to help you:
• Calm the physical symptoms of anxiety in social settings
• Overcome fear of judgment and rejection
• Strengthen communication and self-expression
• Build authentic connections and trust
• Restore peace through a renewed sense of identity in Christ
You don’t have to live trapped inside your own thoughts. With practical tools, gentle exposure, and spiritual grounding, you can learn to walk into any room with calm confidence—rooted not in others’ approval, but in God’s love for you.
If you’re ready to stop hiding and start living freely, Rising Calm Center is here to help you find your voice and your peace again.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Anxiety is the fear of future pain. Social anxiety is the fear that others will judge us and that their judgments will result in rejection and that such will be painful. Let's work together to challenge and undo that painful process so you can be freer with others and connect more with them.

Jacksonville is home to one of the largest U.S. Navy installations in the country, making it a city with outsized demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, deployment-related adjustment, and military family dynamics. The city's sprawling geography and car-dependent layout can contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness, relationship issues, and depression tied to the challenges of building community in a dispersed city. Baptist Health and UF Health Jacksonville provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many Jacksonville therapists offer telehealth to reach clients spread across Duval County's wide geography.
