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!

"6 weeks in, she is wonderful. there seems to be some confusion on the website with how payments recur.. hopefully that sorts itself out next time without cancelling my session (I got it back same date and time so no harm done)."

"Great platform. Really convenient and quality therapists who care and are consistent. I was a person who used to think therapy/counseling made you weak and was very skeptical, however, I have had a wonderful experience on online-therapy.com. Previously I tried ReGain or BetterHelp and actually got stood up by counselors during my sessions. Never once had any issues on here, 10/10 reccomend."

"Going into therapy has already made a positive difference in my life just one month in. I'm beginning to think clearer and develop long term habits and structure in my life. CBT is helping me identify and restructure my negative thoughts and habits, allowing me to get back on my feet instead of dwelling in them. I will be continuing this program for the foreseeable future to help me through my tough times."

"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."
