How CBT Can Help
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven, science-backed approach to reducing social anxiety. It’s not enough to merely “learn social skills”. Without addressing underlying anxiety, social skills are inadequate. CBT works by helping people recognize and change the negative thought patterns and behaviors that drive their anxiety.
By teaching practical skills to manage fear and anxiety in social situations, CBT empowers individuals to feel more in control and improve their overall quality of life.
