What kind of skills building? I would probably incorporate some behavioral techniques, like social skills training.
You can work on building interpersonal relationships…(eye contact, tone of voice, etc) and you can give out little homework assignments. Start small and build their confidence to interact in more anxiety provoking situations. (Ex: have them strike up a conversation with someone at the grocery store…then work their way up to initiating conversation with a stranger, etc)
You can practice in therapy and model the behavior. Then, encourage them to practice these skills in real-world settings.
This is beneficial for clients who have difficulties in social situations.
