Picture this: you're standing in front of a crowd on the stage. All of a sudden the palms of your hands start to sweat. You feel anxious, nervous and like the whole world is staring at you and waiting for you to make a mistake. You fear that people will judge you. You fear that people will see you as a weak person who is a failure. Sounds familiar?

Feeling anxious about speaking in public is very common. In fact, most of us experience, at some point in our life, discomfort when speaking in front of a group of people. But if you feel that this fear is limiting you and causing you to miss out on opportunities in social, academic or job sectors, then you might be suffering from speech anxiety.

No matter how long you have experienced this, or what you may have done in the past to overcome it, there is hope! Our therapy for speech anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). You see, it is your automatic negative thoughts and perceptions about yourself and others that cause your fear of speaking in front of other people. Our speech anxiety online therapy program will provide you with insightful knowledge about glossophobia (speech anxiety) as well as how to control your anxiety. Your therapist will teach you techniques like cognitive restructuring (changing what you brain says to you), meditation, positive mental visualization and other valuable skills to help you combat your negative thinking. Each time you practice these techniques, you will find it easier to take control of your life and your speech anxiety. You will get useful tips on how to work in a group of people, with the aim of getting you comfortable with making your voice heard in front of others.

"I would like to talk about the good. I really didn't care for the first therapist. I met with her twice. Like many, I was worried about getting a good one, and more worried about switching if I had to. I didn't have any choice in the first one. She was just assigned to me. But switching was painless and far easier than I thought. I didn't need to explain or anything. You just hit a button to switch and then I had about a dozen choices. I enjoy my second therapist much better.

The CBT part of the website. I am not sure how I feel about it. I wanted to try guided CBT and this website does a good job. I one face to face therapist before trying this website and she also wasn't very good. But the way she introduced and did CBT with me also wasn't good. This website does a great job of breaking it down with video and worksheets. I am about 70% done with video and worksheets and the early stuff helped me realize some problem areas, but some of the later work sheets just aren't clicking with me. I don't know. Maybe my issues are too complex. Or one week one thing is bothering me, a couple weeks later its something else. If I had a singular issue I could see CBT working better for me, but my self talk and automatic negative thoughts have not been consistent through out this trouble period of my life. I am not saying it hasn't been helpful, it has.

Either way, I see the CBT as kinda a bonus and not the main reason I signed up. I live overseas and English speaking therapists are extremely hard to find or EXTREMELY expensive. So the main reason I joined was be able to have access to a live therapist that speaks English. I am happy with how this website handles that and far cheaper for than local therapists."

"I found Dr. Lucy Evans via the Online Therapy portal, and she has been amazing. If she is a representation of the therapists that are screened for this site, then I would recommend it to anyone. Dr. Evans is incredibly brilliant at what she does and takes my real world scenarios and helps me understand the cause and effect using psychological and physiological principals. The therapy portal is always consistent and sends meeting reminders regularly at a great interval. I love the worksheets and yoga, all the extras that the portal offers with therapy."

"Working with Dr. Vicki D. Coleman has been an exceptional and truly life-changing experience. She is a highly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate therapist who listens carefully, understands deeply, and explains everything with clarity and patience.

Throughout the Anger Management Program, Dr. Vicki helped me recognize important patterns in my thinking and behavior, guided me through practical tools, and supported me in developing new skills that I can apply in my personal, family, and professional life. I always felt respected, understood, and motivated during every session.

Her approach is warm, encouraging, and very effective. I am sincerely grateful for the time, effort, and guidance she provided. Thanks to her, I have made real progress and feel more confident moving forward.

I highly recommend Dr. Vicki to anyone who is looking for a skilled, dedicated, and caring therapist. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients."
