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.

"Tina Jackson genuinely changed my life. She completely shifted my perspective on therapy and has helped me more than anyone ever has. Her compassion, insight, and ability to truly listen make such a difference. I feel incredibly grateful to have her, and I pray the absolute best for her, her family, and her clients. She is truly amazing"

"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.

"I really appreciate how easy it is to not only find a therapist that fits my needs but the ease in switching if it's not the right fit. I also appreciate the affordability options, the convenient scheduling, and good quality audio/video on calls. I have used the platform for almost a year now and have recommended it to all of my friends."

"So glad that me and my husband were able to find a marriage counseling situation that works for us. Being a therapist myself, I was hesitant and Katie and embraced this and has been able to help me quite a lot to separate provider from wife. She presented herself in a way where we both feel supported and able to tap into vulnerability. Make plans and move in a direction that is healthy. My understanding is that Katie has a history of providing trauma services to individuals as well in addition to many other things- Very knowledgeable, Supportive, And also able to tow the line and set boundaries for us both in a way that is gentle. Thank you so much Katie and Online Therapy! My husband and I both believe that we will be able to keep our marriage intact and move forward in a healthy way and would likely not have been able to do this without the service that Katie is providing. Highly recommend this therapist, regardless of the issues that one is living with!! Danni & David"
