OCD Therapy - Exposure and Response Prevention – ERP

Online OCD Treatment for Intrusive Thoughts and Compulsions

OCD is not about being neat or organized.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) followed by repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) meant to reduce anxiety.

If you feel trapped in mental loops or rituals you can’t stop, you are not alone — and effective treatment exists.

Common OCD Themes I Treat

  • Harm OCD

  • Relationship OCD (ROCD)

  • Contamination fears

  • Health anxiety

  • Sexual intrusive thoughts

  • Religious or moral scrupulosity

  • “Just right” or perfectionism OCD

  • Postpartum intrusive thoughts

OCD can feel terrifying and isolating — especially when the thoughts don’t reflect who you are.

The Gold Standard Treatment: ERP

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the most effective, research-backed treatment for OCD.

ERP works by:

  • Gradually facing feared thoughts or situations

  • Reducing avoidance behaviors

  • Resisting compulsions

  • Teaching your brain that anxiety naturally decreases without rituals

Instead of trying to eliminate intrusive thoughts, we retrain your brain’s response to them.

As a trained ERP therapist, I guide you through this process in a structured, supportive way so you feel challenged — but not overwhelmed.

OCD in High-Functioning Adults

Many of my clients are:

  • College students hiding compulsions from roommates

  • Professionals performing well at work while struggling privately

  • New mothers experiencing intrusive postpartum thoughts

  • High-achieving women battling “what if” fears

OCD often hides behind perfectionism and responsibility — but it is highly treatable.

Virtual sessions make specialized ERP accessible wherever you live.

If intrusive thoughts or compulsions are taking up too much space in your life, you do not have to manage it alone.
