Social Anxiety
Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming—whether it’s speaking in groups, meeting new people, attending social events, or expressing your needs. I work with individuals who experience intense self-consciousness, fear of judgment, or avoidance in social situations, helping them move toward greater confidence and ease in their relationships and daily lives.
Together, we explore the roots of your anxiety, identify specific triggers, and develop practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce fear and build self-assurance. My approach is gentle, supportive, and tailored to your pace, focusing on both skill-building and the emotional insight needed for lasting change.
With time and support, it is possible to shift from avoidance to connection—and to engage more fully in life with authenticity, presence, and self-trust.

Social Anxiety
Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can be an isolating and painful experience, whether it arises in social settings, at work, or even in the simple act of leaving the house. It involves both the external challenge of navigating relationships—expressing needs, setting boundaries, and feeling at ease socially—and the internal experience of anxiety, including difficulty breathing, panic, mental fog, and fear. In our work together, we will address both aspects, using somatic awareness and nervous system regulation to build confidence, ease, and a stronger sense of self. My goal is to support you in feeling grounded and empowered in your interactions, so you can connect more freely and fully with others.

Jonathan Hock -- Therapy for Men
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Perfectionism in men often masks a deeper struggle with meaning, control, and self-worth. It can drive relentless effort and achievement while quietly eroding satisfaction, connection, and a sense of authenticity. I work with men to uncover what perfectionism is protecting or avoiding, to explore the fears and expectations that fuel it, and to examine how it shapes daily life. The goal is not to eliminate striving, but to bring awareness and choice to it, so that effort serves purpose rather than anxiety, and men can engage with life more fully and freely.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

15 Years Experience
Online in Houston, TX Texas (Online Only)
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
