Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Treating social anxiety requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the condition. Drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, I collaborate with clients to challenge negative thought patterns, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually confront feared social situations. Through structured exercises and role-playing, clients learn to reframe anxious thoughts, develop coping strategies, and build confidence in their social interactions.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) represents major modality of treatment to overcome social anxiety and stress. In addition, mindfulness plays a role in my therapeutic approach. Seligman and Reichenberg (2014) provide profound insight as to how best to accomplish these goals namely: (a) employing effective and well-conceived Socratic questions, (b) helping the client to establish a clear framework of his/her perceptions and thoughts and (c) helping the client to reframe such perceptions and thoughts where negative cognitions exist.
