Abstract
The third module aims at modifying problematic thought patterns and behaviors that result from social anxiety. A case example describing a girl who is extremely shy is introduced. The Internet makes it much easier for her to interact with others and serves as safety behavior which reduces anxiety and fear in social interactions. As in the previous modules, the techniques psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and problem solving are used to modify this dysfunctional interaction of cognitions, emotions, and behaviors.
