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 have done a month so far of online therapy, and its really helped me, i really like how you can choose text, phone, or video. and you go your pace with the modules you work together with your therapist with.
The only thing i really didn't like is if something has come up that i couldn't make an appointment on the phone appointment but you can make a text appointment you cant change that yourself.
The reason why i think i have had such a good experience online therapy is because of my therapist Loree Mastel-Marr, she has been so helpful and patient, positive, supportive, and i can joke around with her at the right times in a session when i need, she gets back to me right away when i send messages, i really cant say enough good things about her. She's awesome!"

"I love how interactive this platform is with worksheets and messaging your therapist. My therapist is also very skilled in his profession. I've tried two other online therapy services with no luck. Online-therapy is exceeding expectations and I'll continue using this platform when services are needed."

"I've tried a number of online therapy platforms. None were as good as this. This one works with you holistically and keeps you engaged on a daily basis. My therapist is excellent and she's always available via text and she replies promptly. So far my experience has been 👍 excellent!"

"Really effective platform. It's not complicated yet it holds all the tools that I've needed so far. Plus, I have met such an incredible therapist on this site who was able to help me issues that I feared no therapist could help with. I would recommend Online-Therapy.com and have found it 5/5 so far (6/5 if I could rate it that!)"

"I like this platform. Feels like a lot of thought has been put to the structure of the site and tools at your disposal in your search for betterment. It's at an affordable rate for someone whose currency is weaker than the USD. I feel i'm in really good hands with kindness and compassion that my therapist has shown. Fantastic!"
