Social Anxiety
LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
Social anxiety can be holding a client back from pursuing their life. I work with them to identify their issues and begin to get comfortable, little by little to address these issues. It takes time but the work pays off when a client can make the kind of change that can enhance their life.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with social anxiety. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage and overcome their social anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. This can include fear of being judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized by others. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety. She also integrates 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. Downs incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. Her holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and improved social functioning.
Dr. Downs provides a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their fears and develop effective coping strategies. She 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. Downs is dedicated to helping individuals with social anxiety achieve greater confidence and lead more fulfilling social lives.

Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
With social anxiety we will work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions as well as positive self talk, behavioral activation, probability estimation, pros and cons of being social, social skills & social cues, and behavioral activation (taking action). Often times we make something seem scarier in our own mind than it actually is. With anxiety one of the best ways to overcome it is simply to engage in the activity that scares you. I will help you to stop your negative thinking, to learn relaxation techniques and coping skills and then encourage you to face your fears and gain practice in social situations.
