Anxiety & OCD Therapy
Evidence-based therapy that helps you respond differently to fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
Anxiety and OCD can feel exhausting and all-consuming, pulling you into cycles of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or mental checking. Even when you understand what’s happening, it can still feel incredibly hard to break free from the patterns.
​
Anxiety and OCD-informed therapy helps you learn new ways to relate to fear, uncertainty, and intrusive thoughts.
How Anxiety & OCD Can Show Up
You might notice:
-
Constant worry or mental looping
-
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts that feel distressing or confusing
-
Compulsions or rituals meant to reduce anxiety
-
Avoidance of certain situations, thoughts, or feelings
-
A strong need for certainty, reassurance, or control
-
Feeling stuck despite insight or previous therapy
Our Relational, Evidence-Based Approach
At Bloom Counseling, we take a relational and evidence-based approach to treating anxiety and OCD. Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and paced with your nervous system in mind.
​
We focus on:
-
Helping you understand how anxiety and OCD operate
-
Reducing compulsive responses rather than eliminating thoughts
-
Increasing tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort
-
Strengthening your ability to respond intentionally instead of reactively
-
Creating a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and safety
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and is also highly effective for anxiety.
​
Rather than forcing you into overwhelming situations, ERP is:
-
Collaborative and gradual
-
Tailored to your specific symptoms
-
Focused on choice, not coercion
​
Through ERP, clients often experience:
-
Less urgency to engage in compulsions
-
Reduced fear around intrusive thoughts
-
Increased confidence navigating uncertainty
-
Greater freedom in daily life
​
ERP isn’t about making anxiety disappear — it’s about learning that you can handle it.
