Social Anxiety
Faithful Connections Christian Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, embarrassment, rejection, or saying the wrong thing. It can affect friendships, dating, work, school, family relationships, and your ability to participate fully in life. At Faithful Connections Christian Counseling, we provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you understand the thoughts and experiences contributing to social anxiety and develop greater confidence in social situations.
Counseling may focus on identifying anxious thought patterns, challenging self-doubt, developing healthy coping strategies, improving communication skills, building confidence, and gradually facing situations that may have been avoided. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based counseling, and practical anxiety-management techniques, we work collaboratively to help you take manageable steps toward greater comfort and connection.
For clients who desire it, Christian faith can be incorporated through prayer, Scripture, and spiritual reflection to support confidence, identity, hope, and a healthy understanding of self-worth. You don't have to let fear of judgment keep you from the relationships and experiences you want. With support and practice, greater confidence and meaningful connection are possible.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults struggling with social anxiety, shyness, or fear of judgment in personal, professional, or social settings. I help clients understand how patterns of worry, avoidance, and self-criticism develop and how they impact relationships, confidence, and daily life.
I integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build coping skills. Therapy emphasizes self-compassion, confidence, and practical strategies to navigate social situations, communicate effectively, and foster meaningful connections.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety often results in avoidance of many activities. In these cases, fear is running the show. I work to unpack the fear of rejection and encourage people to slowly go out of their comfort zone.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You might appear confident and capable to others—but inside, social situations feel exhausting, overwhelming, or filled with second-guessing. Whether it’s speaking in groups, initiating friendships, navigating dating, or networking, social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel high-stakes. You may replay conversations in your head, fear saying the wrong thing, or feel pressure to present yourself in ways that aren’t sustainable. And while avoidance might bring temporary relief, it often reinforces the shame and isolation underneath.
For neurodivergent folks—including those with ADHD or autism—social anxiety can come with an added layer of complexity. You might feel like you’re constantly monitoring your tone, facial expressions, or body language just to meet unspoken expectations. Masking can become second nature—and incredibly draining. Even when things go “fine,” you might leave social interactions feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of how you were received.
I work frequently with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults navigating the intense internal pressure to show up flawlessly in social, academic, or professional spaces—always “on,” even when it’s exhausting. In our work together, we’ll also explore how social expectations intersect with aspects of your identity—and how these pressures have shaped your sense of self and belonging.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients understand the roots of their social anxiety and develop tools to connect with others in ways that feel more authentic and sustainable. We’ll build insight, strengthen your self-trust, and practice new ways of showing up that support the kind of connection you actually want. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, translate, or push through. If you're ready to unmask, exhale, and feel more at ease in your relationships, your work, and yourself—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
