Online Therapy for Social Anxiety: Your Path to Confidence

Social anxiety is more common than people realize, affecting about 12% of Americans at some point in their lives. It involves intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in social situations, from giving speeches to fitting into a new group of friends to knowing what to say during a workplace meeting.

While it’s normal to feel nervous in social situations, when anxiety becomes debilitating and affects quality of life, it can lead to social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety involves prolonged and intense fear that manifests as both psychological and physical symptoms. Often, it makes even the most routine social engagements feel impossible.

Therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is an evidence-based approach to helping individuals with social anxiety manage their symptoms and be confident in social situations. CBT works by identifying negative thought patterns that contribute to social anxiety and developing strategies to challenge and change those thoughts.

Online therapy makes accessing these treatments more convenient while providing privacy. For CBT in particular, research has shown that it is as effective in treating anxiety disorders as in-person therapy while providing accessibility and convenience. For individuals who feel anxious about meeting in person, online therapy offers a discreet and comfortable alternative, allowing you to receive high-quality care without the added stress of leaving your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for Social Anxiety

HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE

Is Online Therapy Effective for Social Anxiety?

Research has shown that online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders, including social anxiety, can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many individuals. CBT and other talk therapies help you manage symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence from the comfort of your home using evidence-based practices.

What is the Best Therapy for Social Anxiety?

Cognitive behavioral therapy is considered the gold standard for treating social anxiety. It works by helping you identify and change the negative thought patterns that arise during social situations and develop strategies to manage emotions in stressful environments.

Does Insurance Cover Online Therapy?

Many insurance plans cover online therapy, including sessions for social anxiety. The best practice is to check with your provider, who will inform you of your insurance coverage. At Start My Wellness, we will provide a free cost estimate before starting treatment.

How Can I Control My Social Anxiety?

You can control social anxiety through coping strategies such as deep breathing, grounding techniques, and, in some cases, gradual exposure. Online therapy can teach you these techniques, guide you on when to apply them, and offer role-playing exercises to practice these skills in real time.

Can You Do Exposure Therapy Online?

Exposure therapy can be effectively conducted online. Your therapist will help you gradually face social situations in a controlled, virtual environment, building your confidence over time. Exposure therapy is effective for panic and anxiety disorders but is always discussed with you beforehand as a treatment option and will only be conducted with your consent.

What Causes Social Anxiety Disorder?

Social anxiety disorder can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Anxiety tends to run in families, and early life experiences generally influence one’s genetic predisposition towards anxiety. Additionally, imbalances in brain chemicals can exacerbate one’s predisposition to anxiety.

Is There Medication for Social Anxiety?

Medications such as SSRIs and SNRIs (selective serotonin and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) are effective in managing anxiety symptoms by addressing brain chemical imbalances that contribute to symptoms. Medication is most effective when used alongside therapy, where it can help with symptom management. However, medication must be prescribed by a licensed medical doctor, usually a psychiatrist (PsyD) or your general physician (MD).

What Happens if You Ignore Social Anxiety?

Ignoring social anxiety can lead to more severe symptoms and impact quality of life. If social anxiety develops into social anxiety disorder, where symptoms are persistent and pervasive, it can prevent you from completing daily tasks and may lead to other issues like depression or substance use. Online therapy offers an immediate and proactive way to manage and overcome social anxiety from anywhere.

What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps individuals understand and harmonize their inner conflicts by exploring different parts of themselves.

IFS works to bring these parts into balance, fostering a deeper connection with the core Self and promoting healing and personal growth.

Can Therapy Help with Anxiety?

Working with Anxious Children: Expectations for Parents

Is my child anxious?

All of these are both “normal” behaviors throughout childhood and they are diagnostic evaluators for determining if a child is experiencing an anxiety disorder.
