OCD
Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When unwanted thoughts and compulsions take over, you lose precious energy and freedom. We'll work to change your relationship with these intrusive thoughts, helping you see them as just thoughts, not facts, so they lose their grip. Through a "parts work" approach, we will gently explore the underlying function of the OCD—often driven by protective, highly-concerned "parts" seeking safety—to help them relax their extreme roles. You'll learn how to accept discomfort without acting on the compulsion, choosing instead to commit to actions aligned with your truest self. Our goal is to shift your focus from constant struggle to meaningful living.

Live Laugh and Love Therapy| Jessica Munson
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D,CCATP, CAMAS-II, CCTP
I have been treating OCD through my entire career or 18 years as a therapist but I have seen it become more progressive over the past few years. I took a more specialized training in exposure and response prevention therapy to help folks confront their obsessive thinking, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts that have taken over their lives. I teach people to become comfortable talking about their thoughts, lay down the shame and fear of sharing them, and understanding the roots of where they come from so we can make them more manageable together. Learning to live with OCD is a passion and something I continue to work on specializing further in through my career.

OCD is more than just liking things neat and organized. It’s a serious and often misunderstood condition that can be incredibly disruptive to your daily life. For many people, OCD can interfere with work, relationships, and everyday routines—and it’s not something you can just “turn off.”
OCD affects people of all ages and walks of life. It often shows up as unwanted, intrusive thoughts (called obsessions) that can feel scary, upsetting, or out of your control. People can have unwanted sexual thoughts, thoughts of harming others, fears about relationships, and contamination, to name a few. To cope, you might feel driven to do certain behaviors or rituals (compulsions) in an effort to quiet those thoughts. Unfortunately, this creates a cycle that can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, and overwhelmed.
OCD doesn’t always look the same. It can also show up in related ways, such as:
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) – Obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws in appearance
Skin Picking (Excoriation Disorder) – Repeated picking at the skin, often causing injury
Hair Pulling (Trichotillomania) – Compulsive pulling out of hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or other areas
My approach to treating OCD is rooted in the evidence-based methods of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. Together, these approaches help you face fears in a safe, supportive way—so you can break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. I am a part a part of the International OCD Foundation's Therapist Network and have been trained in ERP through the organization. To find out more about OCD, Click here.
Side Note: OCD and PTSD (TRAUMA)
About 19% of people with OCD also have a history of trauma. The research in this area is still evolving, and the truth is we don't have the best methods for treating both. Some of the strategies that are highly effective for OCD might not be appropriate for someone actively struggling with PTSD, and vice versa.
Currently, Prolonged Exposure (PE) is considered the gold standard for treating PTSD. That said, some individuals don't respond well to that. Others respond well to approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or IFS (Internal Family Systems). If you’re dealing with both OCD and trauma, we’ll work together to determine the best path forward—one that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.
PLEASE NOTE: Some treatment for OCD will be unconventional. In some cases, I may require house visits and family participation, but be assured that all treatment related to OCD is always in the interest of helping you manage unwanted thoughts and rituals.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Dealing with patients who have anxiety and OCD is an important part of the work I have done historically and currently. Depending on what kind of OCD they have and whether I need to work with another physician or specialist will determine the kind of work we do together. But getting a client to be aware of what they do, the compulsions they feel and practicing certain alternative ways of managing are crucial.

Under The Tree Counseling
Life Coach
Compulsions and anxiety go hand in hand. If someone is nervous about something going wrong, they’ll become obsessed with the idea and eventually convince themselves that they must stop the negative situation from happening. Unfortunately, this mindset can be harmful, however if the client can connect the dots of their anxiety to their behavior, they will begin to see the faulty perception of their actions

Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults experiencing obsessive-compulsive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that interfere with daily life, relationships, or work. Many clients feel trapped by intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or compulsions they struggle to control, despite knowing these behaviors are distressing or unnecessary. My approach combines evidence-based strategies, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), with exploration of underlying emotional and cognitive patterns, helping clients reduce anxiety, regain control, and develop healthier ways of managing thoughts and behaviors.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
OCD is bandied about a lot these days. Sometimes it's confused with OCPD, and they are not the same thing. As this is to be a short description of the issue, the best I can do is to say that OCD is an anxiety disorder and OCPD is a personality disorder. There is some overlap. Both vary in severity, and difficulty hauling oneself out of. That stuckness is part of the disorder itself. To understand it better I suggest you read that part on my website that explains it in greater detail. It's under the tab "What's Troubling You."considerably greater detail.
