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 am truly appreciative of this online therapy experience. My therapist, Vanessa An (MNCPS(acc,) MBacp (accred), DipCouns), was absolutely amazing! She made me feel comfortable and was so understanding of my needs. She challenged me in ways that I didn't know I needed. I appreciate how she was supportive and patient with me. I feel so much more confident with my myself and my situation. I was slightly apprehensive in the beginning of the program, but found myself looking forward to my sessions and appreciating all of the new things I have learned along the way. I definitely recommend my therapist and this program! Thank you Vanessa An for everything!"

"The journey so far has been great, easy questionnaire to find a therapist, matched quickly, and my therapist reached out/checked in before our first session to put me at ease. Still got a long way to go but very pleased so far and the resources seem great."

"I like the the therapist assigned to me. I enjoy having a choice of voice or video appointments. Having the option to message my therapist is a big bonus! Petra is great! I have never taken a yoga class before. And, now I yoga with Petra daily. I have recommended Online-Therapy to a friend. I haven't heard if he has subscribed yet."

"I had a traumatic event that I needed to process. Deborah listened carefully and gave me an unbiased perspective. I am ready to move on and apply the lessons learned. We are not perfect, we err but we can always learn and be better for the future.

Further, Deborah always let me talk past the session limit. That is much appreciated."
