Significant social anxiety around women, is there a professional that can help me take smaller steps to get to the point of approach?

Question in title.

I'm just way too into my head about what they think about me, and my brain would obsess over a rejection (have OCD) to the point of extreme shame. I know the popular answer here is to bite the bullet and just do it, but my heart and brain race so bad that I feel like I need to build my way up to approaching OR have some help to have a major perspective shift so I don't give a shit.
