When social context matters so much I wonder how they measure things like this. Just the act of getting to know a therapist will reduce anxiety and in the situation you'll be comfortable so there is little value measuring improvements under those circumstances. As soon as you step out into the real world again fears resurface. I'd say there's a market for trained therapists who will also coach people through real world stressful situations rather than just talking about them. Given the expense of doing that it would have to be in a group and the incentives right so you can trust coaches not to exploit the vulnerable. Solve that and you could have a nice franchise.
