Exposure & Response
Prevention Therapy (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), is an effective therapeutic approach designed to help individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Claire, as an ERP-trained Licensed Social Worker, specializes in this evidence-based treatment. ERP focuses on systematically exposing clients to their anxiety triggers or obsessions while preventing the compulsive behaviors or rituals that they typically engage in to alleviate their distress. It helps individuals learn how safely respond to their obsessions in a healthy manner.
During ERP sessions, Claire collaborates closely with clients to create a tailored treatment plan that gradually exposes them to their fears in a controlled and supportive environment. By repeatedly facing their anxieties without engaging in compulsive actions, clients learn to rewire their brain's response to anxiety triggers, ultimately leading to a reduction in distress and an improved quality of life. Claire's training in ERP ensures that clients at Florescence Counseling LLC receive compassionate and effective care. The goal is to help them overcome the challenges posed by anxiety disorders and regain control over their lives.
