Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Challenge your negative and anxious thoughts. At times it may feel like there’s nothing you can do about the way you feel and how you think. In reality, though, there are a number of things that can help.
Be mindful. Being mindful and practicing mindful meditation helps you to be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and positive way.
Go to a coffee shop. If you enjoy watching movies online or catching up on your favorite TV show, then try taking your tablet or laptop to your nearest coffee shop.
Create an exposure hierarchy. Identify and rate how each social situation makes you feel in terms of anxiousness. For example, 0 would mean no anxiety, and 10 would be a full-blown panic attack.
Don’t focus on yourself. It’s hard to stop the endless mind chatter when you’re in situations that make you particularly anxious. We often turn inward and focus on ourselves and how others will perceive us, almost always assuming it will be negative.
Adopt a healthier lifestyle to reduce anxiety.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a prevalent form of anxiety that can make even the simplest social interactions feel overwhelming.

With the guidance of a therapist, we can work towards developing effective coping mechanisms, enhancing self-esteem, and challenging negative thoughts that contribute to SAD. Together, we can create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals in managing social anxiety.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I run a group for young adult women who struggle with social anxiety. This group allows each member to learn about anxiety, to share what they struggle, to learn coping strategies, and to gain some support from other members. With the pandemic and quarantine, many clients have begun to struggle with social anxiety and I work with these clients to learn how to understand the anxiety they feel and how it impacts their daily life.

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
So often shame and social anxiety are tied together. It has been said that "It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found". I find this to be very true. We all desire closeness and intimacy, however, often when we experience conditional worth, shame based parenting and other traumas early in our lives, we can naturally develop a fear of people. Social anxiety is to be afraid of being ourselves for fear of rejection or some other shame/imperfection. Learning to love ourselves, heal from the shame, and reclaim our birthright of belonging is the work.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Social anxiety can feel like a spotlight that is constantly shining on you. Together in therapy we will work to understand why that spotlight feels so harsh or scary. By exploring past experiences and the critical voices they may have created, we can weaken their power.

G. Safina
Therapist, Individual And Couples Therapy, MA, MS
If you have social anxiety or social phobia, interacting with people socially may not always feel easy or natural. Social anxiety can dominate your life and prevent you from being successful. I use CBT, ACT and psychodynamic approaches to help my clients build confidence, learn skills that help manage anxiety, and then get out into the world.
