Feeling shy or nervous about holding a speech or a presentation, are feelings that most of us have experienced in life. But if you constantly fear other people's attention, always feel watched or judged and feel afraid that you will embarrass yourself, then you might be suffering from social anxiety.

People with social anxiety often do everything they can to avoid the situations that make them anxious. Just the thought of a fearful social event can give physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, pounding of the heart, blushing and dizziness.

Social anxiety can have tremendously negative effects on your life, making you miss out on work opportunities and even relationships with friends and partners.

Our therapy for social anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that underlie your fear of certain social situations. This might sound intimidating at first, but the key to your well-being is to stop avoiding the social situations that you find fearful. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually be exposed to these social situations. By doing so, you will learn how to deal with your fear and eventually you will be able to handle previously fearful situations without anxiety, allowing you to participate in your life, as you are supposed to do!

"I think Online-Therapy.com is the best kept secret on the internet! The amount of contact and feedback I get from my therapist is second to none. I will never go back to analogue therapy again. Why should I, when I can make so much more progress therapeutically with all this accessibility and convenience. Keep up the good work!"

"This is my second attempt at therapy, and I never thought I'd give it another shot. Initially, I questioned how talking about my past could help—after all, nothing can change what's already happened. My first therapist felt more like a friend to vent to, and I figured I could do that for free.

But after just two sessions with Maria Hollo, I've gained more insight than I did in four months with my previous therapist. I always believed in-person sessions were superior for building a connection, but I've realized that doesn't have to be the case. Talking to someone virtually can be just as effective, and the convenience of not having to leave home is a huge bonus.

The online resources available—like worksheets, videos, and the Dashboard—are incredibly helpful. Maria even reaches out during the week, making me feel supported around the clock. It's reassuring to know that help is always just a message away.

Having this level of support is comforting. It's nice to feel like someone truly cares."
