Drexel University offers a free internet-based treatment program for adults (ages 18-65) suffering from social anxiety disorder. This program is available to adults living in the United States. This program is part of a study examining the efficacy of a treatment for social anxiety delivered through an internet-based program called Second Life.

This cognitive-behavioral treatment consists of 12 weekly hour-long sessions with a therapist. You will be taught techniques to help cope with anxious thoughts and feelings. You will also have the opportunity to practice these techniques and improve your social skills. No medication is involved. If you enroll in this study, you will be asked to fill out several online questionnaires before, during, and after your treatment period.
