Social Anxiety
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Social anxiety is more than just being afraid to speak in public, for many people social anxiety is fear of being judged by other people in any social setting to the extent that they usually decline any social events. Treating social anxiety involves trying to find the source for the anxiety and the negative beliefs that have become part of the client's self beliefs so that we can desensitize, reframe, reprocess, and replace these negative beliefs with improved self-confidence. We will also use visualization exercises in which the client will imagine a social setting and being comfortable with who they are in social settings.

Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists manage social anxiety by addressing the root causes of their fear and discomfort in social situations. Together, we work to challenge the critical self-judgments and unrealistic standards that often fuel their anxiety. I provide strategies to build confidence and ease anxiety in social settings, helping them feel more comfortable and authentic in interactions. By exploring underlying beliefs about performance and rejection, I guide clients toward greater self-compassion and acceptance. My goal is to help them develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships while reducing the emotional toll of social pressure.

Social Anxiety
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.

Overcoming social anxiety can be a transformative experience, allowing you to engage more fully in your personal and professional life. My approach leverages behavioral and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapies, which are highly effective in treating social anxiety. Through methods such as exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, we will work together to confront and reframe the negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your anxiety in social situations. By gradually facing feared social scenarios and developing new coping strategies, you can build confidence, improve social skills, and reduce anxiety, ultimately leading to more meaningful and satisfying interactions.
