Social Anxiety
Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If the fear of judgment keeps you isolated, our work is designed to help you reconnect with confidence. We’ll partner to identify and restructure the fear-based thoughts that fuel your anxiety. Using a "parts work" approach, we will gently explore the protective inner system and connect with the source of the anxiety—often a young, vulnerable, or shamed "part" that developed to keep you safe from perceived social threat. This work is gently paced and respects your need for safety as you learn to unhook from the endless cycle of rumination and choose to engage in your life according to your values.

When You Worry What Others Think
If you find yourself replaying conversations, worrying you said the “wrong” thing, or avoiding situations where you might be judged, you may be struggling with social anxiety. You might appear confident and put-together on the outside but inside feel tense, self-conscious, or on high alert. Even small interactions — meetings, text replies, or social plans — can feel like high-stakes performances. Social anxiety is not just shyness. It’s your brain trying to protect you from rejection or embarrassment — often by over-analyzing and keeping you stuck.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you feel calm and authentic around others. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge the beliefs that drive fear of judgment
Rewire the inner dialogue that fuels self-criticism and avoidance
Build emotional tolerance for uncertainty and vulnerability
Practice real-world experiments that retrain your brain’s social safety system
Experience connection and confidence without overthinking every move
Our work blends compassion and science — using daily tools, feedback, and measurable progress to create lasting change. Most clients notice significant relief from social anxiety within 8 to 12 weeks.
I BELIEVE:
You deserve to feel safe being yourself — not performing for others.
Confidence isn’t the absence of anxiety; it’s learning to show up anyway.
Connection grows when we stop chasing perfection and start allowing authenticity.
Fear loses power when it’s met with curiosity instead of avoidance.
Laughter, empathy, and courage are the antidotes to shame.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
