Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

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 am a Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) utilizing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as one modality to treat Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD).

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

Along with ERP, I offer Inference based cognitive behavioral therapy as an affirming method for working with OCD.

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!

Dr. Vivyan has completed graduate-level coursework and multiple training sessions related to ERP for anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders. She has been using ERP for more than 10 years of training and practice to support kids, teens, and young adults in becoming their bravest selves. As a clinician with lived experience in anxiety, Dr. Vivyan loves to discuss how exposure (facing your fears) and response prevention (avoiding anxious actions) produces brave behaviors for all!

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).

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

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

ERP is a modality I use everyday with clients. It's a modality that's the gold standard to treat anxiety and very effective if used the right way.

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

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy is based on the idea that it is not realistic to try to completely remove distressing situations from our lives and that it is far more effective to have the tools and strategies to manage the anxiety and not allow these situations to trigger obsessions and compulsions. I first trained in ERP over 20 years ago at Texas Children's Hospital. Since then, I have used it regularly and effectively with children and adults.

I have extensive experience working with clients of all ages struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). When applying this treatment, I aim to psycho-educate my client and their family (if appropriate) on the nature of OCD. I also work to help my clients understand how facing the feared stimuli as well as resisting the compulsive urge can decrease their anxiety. I have worked with OCD tendencies that present as bedtime rituals, confessions, fear of germs, bathroom tendencies, etc.

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.

ERP therapy (Exposure Response Prevention therapy) helps to alleviate the obsessive and compulsive thinking patterns and behaviors that can feel paralyzing. We together will find the right approach for you. ERP therapy helps to reduce these symptoms through exploring core fears and participating in exposures to increase the ability to tolerate the anxiety. A unique

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.

Exposure and Response Prevention is a powerful method that I use with clients that are saddled with painful and distressing through loops and behaviors that rob them of joy and happiness and affect them day-to-day. This approach starts with identifying the patterns, providing education around their function and piecing them apart, creading a solid goal and stepwise plan to make changes, then systematically creating experiments inside and outside session to challenge thoughts and break free!
