Social Anxiety
Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
Social anxiety often reflects deeper fears of judgment, rejection, or exposure rooted in earlier relational experiences. Together, we explore how these patterns developed and work to transform the beliefs and nervous system responses that sustain them. My approach combines psychodynamic insight, CPT-informed belief restructuring, and somatic regulation strategies. Over time, clients develop greater ease in social interactions, improved self-expression, and a stronger internal sense of worth.

Social Anxiety
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to the treatment social anxiety is grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to fear and self-consciousness in social situations. Together, we use practical strategies such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, and social skills training to build confidence and reduce avoidance. This structured, supportive process helps clients develop a more balanced perspective and engage more comfortably and authentically in social interactions.

Social Anxiety
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Social anxiety often shows up as a constant self-monitoring—replaying conversations, worrying about how you came across, or feeling tense before, during, and after social interactions. Many people assume this means they’re awkward or broken, when in reality it’s usually a nervous system that’s working overtime to stay safe. In therapy, we approach social anxiety with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from rather than forcing you to “just be more confident.”
My work with social anxiety focuses on easing the internal pressure rather than pushing you into uncomfortable situations before you’re ready. Together, we work on calming the body, softening self-judgment, and building trust in your ability to handle connection as it unfolds. Over time, social interactions begin to feel less like a performance and more like a shared experience—allowing you to show up as yourself with greater ease, presence, and self-acceptance

Social Anxiety
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have extensive experience working with individuals who struggle in certain social settings. I draw upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to explore how our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are all reciprocally related. This allows us to identify what changes we can make that will produce significant reduction in social anxiety symptoms.
