Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients struggling with OCD issues, I provide compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through therapy, we work on understanding the underlying fears and compulsions driving their OCD behaviors. I offer cognitive-behavioral techniques such as exposure and response prevention to help them gradually confront and reduce their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Additionally, we focus on developing coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and stress. The goal is to empower patients to regain control over their lives and engage in meaningful activities, despite their OCD symptoms, leading to greater freedom and well-being.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I'd help someone with OCD gain insight into their obsessions and compulsions. We'd delve into any emotional baggage or past traumas that could be fueling their OCD symptoms. In therapy, I'd employ effective techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address and modify those obsessive thoughts and behaviors. Additionally, I'd assist them in developing strategies to manage anxiety and stress more effectively. When it comes to relationships, I'd address any challenges arising from their OCD and focus on improving communication and understanding with their partner or loved ones.
