Sushma Cheturvedula
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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can significantly impact someone's life, particularly concerning addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, imagine someone who feels compelled to perform certain rituals or behaviors to alleviate their anxiety. These compulsions can consume a lot of time and energy, making it difficult to maintain healthy relationships or cope with everyday stressors. As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide a supportive environment for the individual to talk about their experiences and struggles. We would work together to develop strategies for managing their OCD symptoms and finding healthier ways to cope with stress and improve their relationships.

When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been both rewarding and transformative. With a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD, I guide individuals through a structured and evidence-based approach to confronting their fears and breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Through systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli and prevention of ritualistic behaviors, I help clients gradually build tolerance to their distress and learn more adaptive ways of coping.
