Social Anxiety
Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Social anxiety can range from barely noticeable to debilitating. If you feel social anxiety is a problem in your life, I have many ways to address it. By identifying your personal experience of anxiety, we can work together to help reduce it using a combination of techniques that are appropriate for you. This may include mental strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Systematic Desensitization, or physical strategies such as breathing techniques, muscle relaxation, or other relaxation techniques.

Social Anxiety
Robin Britt
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
You rehearse conversations before they happen. You replay them long after they're over. You cancel plans you actually wanted to keep, say yes when you mean no, and spend so much energy managing how you come across that you leave every interaction exhausted.
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's a persistent, often exhausting experience of fear around how others perceive you — and it can quietly limit your world in ways that are hard to even name, because avoidance starts to feel like preference.
I work with people across the full range of social anxiety, from the low-grade discomfort that shows up in meetings or social gatherings to the kind that makes phone calls, eye contact, or new relationships feel genuinely unbearable. We work together to understand where it started, what's keeping it going, and how to gradually build a life that isn't organized around avoiding the things that scare you.
This isn't about becoming an extrovert or performing confidence you don't feel. It's about getting your choices back — being able to decide what you do and don't want based on what matters to you, not based on fear.
Social anxiety often overlaps with depression, perfectionism, and ADHD, and I'm experienced in treating the whole picture. If faith is part of your life, we can bring that into the work as well.
You don't have to keep disappearing to feel safe.
