Social Anxiety Counselling

Do social situations make you feel overwhelmed? Do you avoid conversations, meetings, or social gatherings based on fear of embarrassment or being judged? Do not worry if that describes you, you are not alone, and help is accessible. Our counselor in Mooresville provides warm and constructive social anxiety counseling that can help make you feel more confident, connected, and in charge.

What is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety is more than shyness. It is an ongoing fear of social or performance situations in which you fear being criticized or evaluated by other people. The anxiety can get in the way of daily functioning, for example, speaking in public, going to parties or events, or even talking one-on-one.

Socially anxious people tend to feel extreme self-awareness, bodily sensations of a rapid heart rate or excessive sweating, and go out of their way to avoid provoking situations.

What Can We Do

Our experienced counselors are aware of the influence social anxiety can have on relationships, work life, and overall health. We establish a comfortable, non-judgmental environment in which you can discuss what has been causing your social anxiety and discover methods for coping effectively.

Our social anxiety counseling can consist of:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Facilitates identification and modification of negative thought patterns and replacing these with more empowering thoughts.
  • Mindfulness and Relaxation Skills: Master methods for remaining grounded in social settings.
  • Exposure Therapy: Gradual, guided exposure in feared social environments in order to enhance self-confidence.
  • Self-esteem Building: Enhance your confidence in yourself and assertiveness.
