Social Anxiety
Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Social anxiety can manifest in many ways. Some experience this unwanted state in the forms of body sensations such as digestive distress, flushing of the face, racing heart, and/or feelings of suffocation in social and performance situations. Others have intrusive images of disastrous futures to avoid or past experiences never wanted to be repeated. Perhaps you have an extremely pessimistic internal critic that expects the worst out of you, others, and/or the world. Finally, there may be specific people, places, or situations that trigger overwhelming social anxiety that impair your effectiveness and wellbeing. I utilize individually tailored, yet evidence-based practices to address anxiety in the following ways: 1) first develop a shared understanding of the source of your distress and type of anxiety you are dealing with. 2) develop skills to manage impairing anxiety when triggered to provide short-term relief. 3) Finally, utilize strategies to more deeply understand the sources of your anxiety in order to provide longer-term resilience so that times that previously provoked the anxious feelings no longer have the same impact in the first place.

Social Anxiety
Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Charles R. Davenport specializes in treating social anxiety, a condition characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Davenport uses evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety can significantly impact daily life, making it difficult to interact with others, attend social gatherings, or perform in public. Dr. Davenport employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their anxiety. He also incorporates exposure therapy, a CBT method that gradually exposes clients to feared social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping them build confidence and reduce anxiety.
In addition to CBT and exposure therapy, Dr. Davenport integrates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. His holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Davenport provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. He also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Davenport is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.
