Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Confidential, Effective and Convenient
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) are at the forefront of treating anxiety disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These therapies have been rigorously tested and validated through numerous scientific studies and are considered to be the gold standard. Even better is the growing body of evidence indicating that CBT and ERP, when delivered online, maintain their efficacy, matching the results seen in traditional in-person settings. This means you can get the freedom and relief you’ve been looking for, from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Since the onset of the pandemic, I've successfully transitioned to delivering CBT and ERP therapies online, catering to individuals in both Chicago and Seattle. Throughout this process, it has become apparent that these approaches maintain their effectiveness in a virtual format. The advantages of virtual therapy are many, including enhanced accessibility and the unique capability to assist individuals in the environments where they face the greatest challenges with anxiety—be it at home, while driving, or in social settings. This evolution in therapy delivery not only broadens my reach to help more individuals but also provides flexible and convenient treatment options. This adaptability facilitates greater commitment and engagement from clients in their therapeutic process, offering a seamless integration of therapy into their daily lives.
