Danny Boylan
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can be deeply uncomfortable and often misunderstood. It’s not simply shyness or a lack of social skills, but a heightened sensitivity to evaluation, rejection, or disapproval that can make social situations feel exhausting, tense, or even threatening. Many people with social anxiety spend a great deal of energy monitoring themselves, anticipating how others might perceive them, or replaying interactions long after they’ve ended.
In my work with social anxiety, I view these experiences as understandable responses that often develop in relational contexts where it felt important to stay vigilant, perform correctly, or avoid drawing negative attention. Therapy can become a place to explore how these patterns formed, what they are trying to protect you from, and how they continue to shape your relationships and sense of self today.
Together, we may work on gently loosening the grip of self-criticism, fear of judgment, and internal pressure to “get it right.” This often involves cultivating greater self-compassion, increasing tolerance for discomfort, and developing a more grounded relationship with yourself in social settings. The goal is not to force confidence or eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help you feel freer, more authentic, and less constrained by fear in your interactions with others.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Fears relate to perceived risk of rejection and hurt. Anxiety is fear of felt but non-specific risks. Each involves the same areas of the brain. My treatment focuses on finding and resolving the core issues that trigger the fear and anxiety responses, except in response to realistic perceived threat.
