Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a highly effective treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In ERP, individuals confront their obsessive thoughts and resist engaging in their compulsive behaviors. Through repeated exposure to anxiety-provoking situations and prevention of ritualistic responses, ERP helps individuals learn to manage and ultimately reduce their OCD symptoms.

I have significant experience and continued trainings on OCD and usage of Exposure and Response Prevention techniques. This is a collaborative process between me and my clients!

I am trained and practiced in exposure and response prevention to treat OCD and severe anxiety disorders. Previously I worked for a telehealth company that specializes in OCD treatment exclusively, and have experience in treating the disorder in adults and adolescents. I have worked with family members of people with OCD to help them stop unknowingly reinforce the OCD cycle as well.

I began my specialized training in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders early in my career under the mentorship of OCD specialist Dr. Steven Phillipson. Through multiple years of training with OCD specialists and at leading military treatment facilitites I have obtained obtained expertise in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the gold-standard treatment approach for OCD.

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) used to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety, phobias, and eating disorders. It is considered the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

ERP will gently guide you through confronting the fears and triggers that drive eating disorder behaviors, helping you gradually regain control and feel more confident in your ability to manage them.

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) focuses on changing unhelpful patterns of behavior that reinforce the cycle of OCD by gradually facing feared situations in a supportive and encouraging setting.

I use ERP to disrupt the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) cycle. ERP has more scientific evidence behind it than any other approach for OCD and is therefore considered the “gold standard”. Through gradual, systematic real life (in-vivo) and imaginal exposure combined with ritual prevention you too can learn how to reduce your distress and reclaim your life from OCD.

Dr. Olin uses ERP methods like systematic desensitization to help reduce the severity of simple fears/phobias as well as compulsive behaviors and thoughts.

I am intensely trained in short-term therapy using ERP to assist people with achieving long-term results.

Dr. Parlor's primary method of intervention is ERP which is the empirically established treatment for OCD.

I love offering ERP, the gold standard for treating phobias and some kinds of anxiety, because it is so effective and creative. We will build trust through collaboration, exploring and shifting your ways of coping with anxiety, then experimenting with activities that will help you face your fears and come out with confidence. Imagine yourself no longer spending time avoiding things or panicking but being able to go through life with more ease. I am in a monthly consultation group for ERP.

I am trained in both traditional ERP and rumination focused ERP.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. It’s designed to help you break free from the cycle of obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing anxiety). ERP is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your unique triggers and experiences. It’s challenging work, but it’s also empowering—and with commitment and support, it's effective.
