I treat these symptoms by understanding the sources of where these feelings are coming from and then how to also treat underlying emotions that cause stress and behaviors. It is a mixed to using anxiety methods while also gradually lessening OCD behaviors.

Within this issues, it is important to understand the attachment style and the purposes that the codependency serves for the individual. By understanding these connections, I have assisted client's build a better understanding of their own needs, desires, and opinions separate from outside influences. Within this treatment, they have been able to lessen dependency and have a better understanding of how to best move towards their goals or believe in their own abilities and independence.

I have significant experience in working with several types of anxiety such as phobias, social, trauma-oriented, overall anxiety from responsibilities and tasks. Depending on the specific type and the individual thought process of the individual, it is possible to work towards options and have an understanding difficulties and strengths to decrease anxiety. Additionally, it has been important to identify anxiety as more of either internal/external stressors and validate when needed.

I have utilized this with many individuals who have benefitted from these techniques. This type of therapy has shown an observation of the people I've worked with to assist controlling emotional thoughts in a more productive and organized way. It has helped to understand how to change negative thinking patterns, in which I can assist individuals in looking at different options and choices within interactions and how to best change every day routines.

This has been a very useful and successful method for several anxiety disorders, especially OCD. Through this therapy, people can be exposed to their fears gradually and in a manageable way in order to lessen symptoms and build resilience against their fears. My clients have had made successful leaps and bonds in regards to having long term change and lessening the attachment to anxious behaviors/presentation in assessing their journey step by step.

Client has been successful with working through trauma by processing flashbacks and events from the past and making connections to current thought processes and behaviors.
