Online Therapy for Social Anxiety

Category: Social Anxiety Online Therapy | Last updated: March 12th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

Feeling shy or nervous about giving a speech or presentation is something most of us have experienced. 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 can gradually learn new ways to respond to fear and may become more comfortable in situations that previously felt overwhelming.

"You can work at your own pace. If you have time and are working through issues quickly the worksheets are really nice. The messaging is nice when things come up between sessions so you have a better support network. I like the ability to do live sessions wherever and not be limited by location and availability."

"I really have enjoyed my time using Online-Therapy.com

It personally changed my opinion on therapy as I didnt always like battling traffic and sitting in a waiting room. Now I get to choose the time that works for me on my schedule. That right there is A LOT and one less thing that is going on in my head. Having the ability to message my therapist if something pops up and is fresh in my brain is also a huge perk. Sometimes it might be something that I just want to addresss in the next session or give feedback on what happened with the advice that was given to a situation.

I recommend this site to everyone that has told me that they are having issues.
