At Ohio OCD & Anxiety Treatment (OOAT), we specialize in helping people learn how to manage OCD and Anxiety to have a better quality of life. Through effective, evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we help you learn more about your symptoms, face your fears, reduce anxiety, and live your life based on your goals and values, not your fears.

Our compassionate and skilled team is here to guide you every step of the way as you learn how to loosen the grip of OCD, anxiety, and related disorders.

We work with clients throughout Ohio using video teletherapy.

  • OCD often shows up as persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions), like excessive checking or cleaning, making everyday life feel overwhelming and exhausting. If intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors are disrupting your daily life, we're here to help. Our compassionate therapists use evidence-based approaches like ERP to guide you toward freedom and peace.

  • GAD can feel like endless worry about work, health, or relationships, accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, or trouble concentrating, turning small concerns into constant stress. Constant worry shouldn't overshadow your joy. We offer supportive therapy tailored to GAD, helping you build tools to manage anxiety and reclaim a calmer, more present life.

  • Health anxiety might involve fixating on symptoms, fearing serious illness despite reassurances, leading to frequent doctor visits or avoidance of activities, creating a cycle of fear and isolation. When fears about your health feel overwhelming, our team provides gentle, specialized care to challenge those worries and foster a sense of security and well-being.

  • Panic attacks can strike suddenly with heart racing, shortness of breath, or dizziness, while agoraphobia might mean avoiding places where escape feels hard, limiting your world and freedom. Sudden panic or avoidance of places doesn't have to limit you. With empathy and proven strategies, we support you in facing fears and regaining confidence step by step.

  • Social anxiety often looks like intense fear of judgment in social settings, leading to avoidance of conversations, blushing, sweating, or overthinking interactions, making connections feel daunting. Social situations can feel daunting, but you're not alone. Our warm, understanding therapists help you develop skills to connect comfortably and live more fully.

  • Specific phobias can manifest as intense, irrational fear of a particular thing or situation, like flying or spiders, triggering avoidance, rapid heartbeat, or panic that interferes with daily activities. Whether it's heights, animals, or something else, phobias can hold you back. We use gentle exposure techniques to help you overcome fears and embrace new possibilities.
