The revised Cox and Taylor Anxiety Sensitivity questionnaire, Beck and Weisman Cognitive Distortions were used for data collection. After performing the pre-test, the experimental group underwent intervention for 10 sessions of 90 minutes, while the control group was placed on the waiting list. Post-test was also performed immediately after the treatment sessions. Data extracted and analyzed by an ANCOVA statistical analysis. Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that by controlling the effect of pre-test in the post-test stage, there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in the variables of Anxiety Sensitivity and Cognitive Distortions. So that the experimental group showed a significant decrease compared to the control group. Also, the results of the study showed a decrease in the subscales of fear of anxiety reactions, fear of cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms and lack of cognitive control of his Anxiety Sensitivity subscale. Conclusion: According to the research findings, since patients with Social Anxiety have symptoms of Anxiety Sensitivity and Cognitive Distortions, the use of modular cognitive-behavioral intervention as an effective treatment in patients with Social Anxiety is recommended.
