Social Anxiety
Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Social anxiety therapy, is a gradual approach to help individuals overcome intense fear of judgment by identifying, challenging, and replacing negative thought patterns with more realistic ones. Some techniques include gradual exposure to feared social situations, social skills training, and, if needed, medications like SSRIs or beta-blockers. I work with individuals with social anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Social situations that seem easy for others can feel overwhelming when you’re experiencing social anxiety. You may worry about being judged, saying the wrong thing, making mistakes, or being the center of attention. These fears can lead to overthinking, avoidance, isolation, or feeling exhausted after interactions. Therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free space to understand these patterns and work through them at a pace that feels manageable.
Outpatient therapy can help you identify anxious thought patterns, build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and develop healthier ways to manage fear and self-consciousness. Together, we can work toward greater comfort in social situations and help you feel more present, connected, and confident without letting anxiety dictate what you do or who you become.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel emotionally exhausting, intimidating, or overwhelming. Many individuals struggling with social anxiety experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, difficulty speaking openly, avoidance of social situations, chronic overthinking, or persistent worries about being rejected, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated by others.
I provide therapy for individuals experiencing social anxiety with a focus on helping clients better understand the emotional and psychological patterns contributing to fear, avoidance, and self-criticism. Treatment involves developing healthier coping strategies, increasing emotional confidence, reducing avoidance behaviors, and building a greater sense of comfort, authenticity, and connection in relationships and social situations.

Social Anxiety
Katie Steinert
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Social anxiety feels devastating. The constant fear of judgement, worrying that others can see that you are anxious, and the frustrating physical symptoms (pounding heart, trembling, sweating, or blushing) can be enough to make you feel hopeless, maybe even depressed. Let's explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact to power your social anxiety. You CAN learn to interact with your anxiety in a more productive way. I believe that every individual struggling with social anxiety can learn to re-engage in their lives and reduce the impact that it has on their relationships and self-esteem.

Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Social anxiety can show up as intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, overthinking interactions, or avoiding social situations altogether. It can impact relationships, work, and everyday activities, often leaving you feeling stuck between wanting connection and feeling overwhelmed by it.
I provide therapy for social anxiety to help you understand both the thought patterns and nervous system responses that drive these experiences. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the fear and self-criticism, while also identifying how these patterns developed over time.
The focus is on helping you feel more grounded and present in social situations, reduce avoidance and overthinking, and build greater confidence, ease, and authenticity in your relationships.
