Social Anxiety
Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Social Anxiety has the potential to hold us back from forming the relationships we want or achieving the goals we have made. Social Anxiety can feel crippling and defeating. My approach to handling social anxiety is to affirm the challenge it causes, instill hope for the future, and provide tools to help.

Social Anxiety
Maia Leslie
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CCTP-II, NATC
Does the thought of social interactions fill you with dread? Is social anxiety preventing you from enjoying life to the fullest? Social anxiety can be isolating and limiting, but it doesn't have to control your life. Imagine a life where social interactions become opportunities for growth and enjoyment, not sources of fear and discomfort. I will help you build essential social skills, challenge negative thought patterns, and develop a sense of ease and confidence in interpersonal interactions. Together, we will work towards fostering genuine connections and creating a life enriched by meaningful social experiences.

Social Anxiety
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Social anxiety can feel like a constant self-monitoring in relationships; worrying about how you are perceived, replaying conversations, or feeling tense, awkward, or “on display” in social settings. Even when outwardly functioning well, internally there may be a strong sense of pressure, fear of judgment, or exhaustion from managing impressions.
In therapy, we work to understand the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns underneath social anxiety, including past experiences of relational safety, belonging, and rejection. From a psychodynamic perspective, social anxiety is often connected to early attachment experiences and internalized beliefs about acceptance and worth.
Using a trauma-informed and Focusing-Oriented approach, we pay attention to what happens in the body in moments of social activation — the tightening, freeze responses, or self-consciousness — and learn how to stay present with those sensations rather than becoming overwhelmed by them.
Over time, this work supports greater ease in relationships, increased self-trust, and a more grounded sense of presence with others, rather than constant self-evaluation.

Social Anxiety
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.

Bonfire Healing - Bonnie Deopp, MS, LMHC, CN
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CN, EMDR certified, Clinical Supervisor
Welcome, We're so glad you’re here! Bonfire Healing provides outpatient telehealth therapy with focus on complex mental health issues and developmental trauma along with co-occurring eating issues, addictions, chronic health conditions, nuerodiversity, and maladaptive behaviors. Our mission is to promote health equity through increasing access to evidence-based trauma treatment while utilizing insurance benefits so that this care is both high quality and affordable to more people. We honor that there is a strong correlation between trauma and the development of social anxiety. This is particularly true if we grew up with caregivers or peers who were not safe because they were explosive, criticizing, bullying, inattentive, neglectful, emotionally immature, and/or needy. We take a relational approach and we are in this together. We combine evidenced based modalities to heal these impacts on your nervous system and bring back regulation that decreases social anxiety symptoms.

Social Anxiety
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is not just about being shy. It often develops after experiences where being seen, judged, or rejected felt unsafe. Over time, avoiding people can start to feel like the safest option. The problem is it also keeps you stuck. In therapy, we work to understand where that fear came from and help you re-engage socially without feeling like you’re constantly under pressure.
