Healing OCD from Within: An Integrated IFS & EFT Approach
OCD can feel like a relentless, hijacking force—a cycle of fear, urgent demands, and exhausting compulsions that leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself. As a therapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that goes beyond just managing symptoms.
With IFS, we won't fight your OCD; we will get to know it. We will treat the obsessions and compulsions as protective "parts" of your internal system—managers and firefighters that are trying to keep you safe from deep-seated fears or past pain (exiles). By helping you access your core "Self" (a place of calm, curiosity, and compassion), we can unblend from these intense parts, understand their positive intent, and help them trust you to manage life without extreme, rigid behaviors.
With EFT, we will focus on the emotional undertones—the shame, overwhelming anxiety, and, often, attachment-related fears that fuel the OCD. We will explore these raw, primary emotions to transform how you respond to uncertainty, building emotional regulation and creating a sense of inner security.
Together, this integrated approach helps you move from being a prisoner of your thoughts to leading your internal system with compassion, fostering lasting, self-driven healing.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD requires specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. In fact, when it comes to OCD, they could be making things worse! The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD with decades of research showing that they actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD, and I also address co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Provo is home to Brigham Young University (BYU), the flagship university of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the city's mental health landscape is shaped in profound ways by LDS religious culture—perfectionism, gender role expectations, honor code pressure, LGBTQ+ identity in a context where same-sex relationships are prohibited by church policy, and the mental health challenges common in communities with high standards of behavior and limited space for vulnerability. BYU's counseling center provides mental health services for enrolled students within the constraints of university honor code policies, and a number of private practitioners in the area specialize in faith-sensitive therapy or working with clients navigating transitions in their relationship with LDS beliefs. Common therapy concerns include faith and doubt, religious deconstruction and identity, LGBTQ+ identity in an LDS context, perfectionism and anxiety, and the challenges of mental health in a community where disclosure of struggle can feel threatening to one's social and spiritual standing. Utah County's mental health needs are significant across the board, and Provo is an important service hub for the surrounding region.
