Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, often involving fear of judgment, embarrassment, or rejection. You may find yourself avoiding social situations or feeling distressed before, during, or after interactions. Our therapists provide a supportive space to understand these patterns and how they are maintained over time. Together, we work to build confidence, reduce avoidance, and develop skills to navigate social situations with greater ease and comfort.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, triggering self-doubt, overthinking, and a constant fear of judgment. At Root & Rise, we treat social anxiety by combining evidence-based methods with The Stark Contrast™—our signature blend of Creative Arts Therapy and cognitive-emotional processing developed by co-founder Julie Stark, LCSW. This approach helps clients move beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging both the analytical and expressive parts of the brain. Through guided creative exercises, emotional mapping, nervous-system awareness, and structured skill-building, clients learn to address the fears underneath their social anxiety while also practicing new ways of showing up confidently in real-world situations. The Stark Contrast™ helps you shift from avoidance and self-consciousness into clarity, connection, and self-trust—so social interactions feel less threatening and more authentically you.

Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
If the thought of walking into a room full of people, speaking up in a meeting, or making small talk leaves you feeling exposed, judged, or frozen, you are not alone. Social anxiety can make your world feel incredibly small. In our sessions, we will create a safe, paced space to challenge the harsh inner critic that tells you everyone is watching or judging. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, I will help you tame physical panic symptoms, quiet the mind-racing "what-ifs," and gradually build authentic social confidence.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I work with individuals experiencing social anxiety, including fear of judgment, discomfort in social situations, and difficulty speaking up or feeling at ease around others. Together, we explore the thought patterns and physical responses that fuel anxiety, while gently working to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social settings. My approach is supportive and practical, helping you build real-world coping tools so you can feel more grounded, present, and comfortable in interactions at your own pace. The focus is on increasing confidence, easing social distress, and supporting you in showing up more fully and authentically in your relationships and daily life. If you’re ready to feel more at ease around others, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.
