Social Anxiety Disorder causes intense fear in everyday social situations — from speaking, meeting new people, or even answering a phone call. At VICC Psychiatry, we understand the deep impact this can have on your career, relationships, and self-confidence. Our care approach is supportive, judgment-free, and evidence-based, available through telehealth or in-person visits.

Types

  • Performance anxiety (public speaking, presentations)
  • Generalized social anxiety (multiple social fears)
  • Situational social anxiety (specific settings or triggers)
  • Social anxiety with panic attacks
  • Social anxiety co-occurring with depression or substance use

Treatment(s)

  • Psychiatric evaluation to identify triggers, patterns, and physical symptoms
  • Medication management (SSRIs, SNRIs, beta-blockers when appropriate)
  • CBT-based skills: exposure therapy, cognitive reframing, confidence building
  • Teletherapy sessions for gradual progress from a safe space
  • Coaching for communication, assertiveness, and emotional regulation
