Anxiety and OCD Therapy for Women

Lately, you’ve been feeling anxious, worried, or on edge more often than you’d like. You might notice it showing up in your body—headaches, muscle tension, a racing heart, or stomach problems that don’t seem to have a clear cause. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons women seek therapy, and it can affect every part of life—your work, your relationships, and even how you see yourself.

For some women, anxiety appears in social situations—talking to others, public speaking, or asserting themselves at work. Others find themselves worrying about many different things, replaying conversations, or imagining worst-case scenarios. This can look like generalized anxiety disorder. Some women experience obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), where intrusive thoughts or fears lead to rituals, checking, cleaning, or needing things to feel “just right.” Others experience panic attacks that can feel overwhelming and exhausting

I have experience working with women facing separation anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, agoraphobia, emetophobia, panic disorder, and social anxiety.

Anxiety is your challenger! Together, we’ll create a plan to help you quiet that constant voice that keeps bugging you about everything—your appearance, being “good enough,” saying the wrong thing, or making a mistake. We’ll uncover what your anxiety voice is saying and find ways to turn down the noise in your head.

I want you to be able to chill out on your sofa and binge-watch Netflix without anxiety criticizing you every minute. I want my momma clients to be able to play blocks on the floor with their toddlers and actually feel present in the moment.

We’ll start with an initial intake session to understand your needs and goals. Then we will dive into weekly sessions to help you quiet the noise.

Modalities

I am trained in several therapeutic modalities. If you’re unfamiliar with these terms, that’s completely okay — we’ll talk through them in our first session and decide on the best treatment plan for you.

  • ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and certain anxiety disorders. It helps you face fears—like germs, messiness, or scary thoughts—without doing the rituals or avoidance behaviors that make anxiety stronger. With practice, you’ll learn that the feared situations aren’t as dangerous as they feel and that you can handle the discomfort. This approach takes courage, but it works.

  • ACT helps teens stop fighting their thoughts and start living their lives. Instead of trying to control every anxious or unwanted thought, you’ll learn mindfulness and acceptance strategies to let them pass without giving them power. We’ll focus on what matters most to you—your values, goals, and what makes life meaningful—and help you move toward those things, even when anxiety shows up. This is a great option for teens with an OCD diagnosis.

  • EMDR is a structured therapy that helps your brain heal from distressing memories. While focusing on a difficult memory, you’ll engage in eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation (like tapping or tones). Over time, those memories lose their emotional intensity and stop feeling so overwhelming. EMDR is highly effective for trauma, anxiety, and panic.

  • If your Christian faith is important to you or your family, you are welcome to bring it into the counseling room. I (Jenn) am a Christian and attend a local church, and I understand that some clients feel more comfortable working with a counselor who shares their faith and values.

    You decide how much—or how little—you would like faith and spirituality to be part of your sessions. You are welcome to talk about your beliefs, faith experiences, prayer, Scripture, or other aspects of your spiritual life when they are meaningful to you and your counseling goals.

    Some clients choose to incorporate prayer or discussions of Scripture into sessions, while others simply appreciate knowing that their counselor shares their Christian faith. There is never an expectation that faith or spirituality be included in counseling.

    I am a licensed mental health counselor and have not received specialized training or certification in biblical or Christian counseling. When faith is incorporated into our work, it is done at your direction and alongside evidence-based mental health treatment.

If you’re ready to quiet the noise in your mind and start feeling like yourself again, I’d love to help you get there.
