Social situations can sometimes bring up discomfort, self-consciousness, or hesitation. Therapy offers a place to explore these experiences with curiosity and develop ways to feel more at ease in connection with others.

Social Anxiety
Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Through specialized virtual assessments, I help individuals understand how social anxiety impacts their cognitive functioning, daily performance, and overall quality of life, providing comprehensive evaluations from the privacy and comfort of home. My approach to social anxiety assessment goes beyond symptom identification, examining how anxiety affects attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning—crucial insights for developing effective treatment strategies. With extensive experience evaluating the intersection of anxiety and cognitive performance, I provide detailed assessments that differentiate social anxiety from other conditions, identify specific triggers and patterns, and offer evidence-based recommendations for therapy, accommodations, and coping strategies tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

Social Anxiety
Edward Alderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC; NCC
I specialize working with clients experiencing social anxiety. As a clinician treating social anxiety, I provide psycho education on concrete anxiety coping skills, social skills, and have clients practice these skills both inside and outside of sessions. I use an integrative approach of CBT, DBT, and ACT therapy skills to help clients explore and process the root causes of social anxiety, fears or rejection, and fears of judgment (leading contributors to social anxiety) and to manage and reduce anxious or fearful thoughts. I include some exposure therapy work once the client feels ready for exposure therapy to manage and reduce social anxiety and social fears. The goal is for the client's to acknowledge and work through their social anxiety so that these issues do not hold them back socially, occupationally, or educationally.

Alyssa Lorenzo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety can be created through the internalized messages we've inherited in our developmental journey and the story we actually believe is true. Let's create a more balanced narrative together.

Social Anxiety
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
It's not shyness. It's the dread before social situations, the replaying of conversations afterward, the constant worry that you said something wrong or that people are judging you. You cancel plans because the relief of staying home outweighs the effort of showing up. Or you push through and spend the whole time managing the anxiety instead of actually being present. Social anxiety shrinks your world slowly, and the avoidance that feels like it's helping actually makes it worse over time. We can help you break that cycle with approaches that work, not just "put yourself out there" advice that ignores how hard that actually is. Telehealth throughout Illinois.

Social Anxiety
Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Social anxiety can feel overwhelming, impacting relationships, confidence, and the ability to participate in areas of life you care about. Symptoms may include self-doubt, reassurance seeking and rumination, feeling embarrassed, and avoiding social situations. I utilized evidence-based therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods to help clients face their fears and better manage discomfort in social settings.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Social anxiety is not shyness. It is the experience of being watched by a judge who lives inside your own head — a judge who arrived long before you ever chose to listen to it. Every room becomes a performance. Every interaction is graded. The exhaustion is not from other people. It is from the constant labor of self-surveillance. Therapy works not by teaching you to ignore the judge but by understanding whose voice it actually is, and why it was installed in the first place.
