Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in social anxiety, my approach to treatment is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions. Through therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and social skills training, I work collaboratively with individuals to address underlying fears and negative thought patterns related to social situations. By gradually exposing clients to feared social scenarios in a supportive environment, we work together to challenge avoidance behaviors and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-compassion, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety symptoms. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome social anxiety, build confidence in social interactions, and cultivate meaningful connections with others.

ThinkSpot Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel more difficult than they appear, from meeting new people and speaking up to navigating friendships, dating, school, or work. For some, the pressure to fit in or constantly compare themselves to others can be intensified by social media and the expectation to always be connected. ThinkSpot Therapy can help clients understand the thoughts and fears driving social anxiety, build confidence in social situations, and develop practical ways to manage the physical and emotional stress that comes with it. We provide a supportive space to practice being more comfortable and present without feeling like you have to constantly measure up.

Social anxiety can create intense feelings of fear or discomfort in social situations, affecting personal, professional, and social aspects of life. I help clients explore the underlying thoughts and beliefs that contribute to this anxiety while offering practical tools for managing fear and building confidence in social interactions.

Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can help the client by exporing the deeper thoughts and somatic responses that are occuring and the why in social contexts that bring about anxiety. With that work, transformation can take place so that the client can begin to have more meaningful, healthy, and positive social experiences. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

Logan Williamson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Social anxiety can be really crippling because people who are socially anxious are not always the same people that avoid social situations, and therefore they can stay chronically activated. My work looks to check in with the environment, find social supports, and, critically, hold our thinking to account so that we can view the world as much safer than our worst thoughts describe it to be in our head.

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.
