LPC, 12 years of experience
Hello, my name is Eleni O'Brien and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been practicing for over a decade and specialize in OCD and anxiety treatment. I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders and I aim to help clients in accepting, tolerating and navigating their emotions through implementing evidence-based approaches in warm, supportive, and collaborative environment.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I have extensive experience treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, and specific phobias.
I love working with clients who are motivated to make behavioral changes to reduce anxious behaviors. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. One of the goals of our work will be to build these tools.
I have specialized in using Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and related disorders for over six years.
I am trained in ACT and use this approach as a supplement to CBT and ERP.
I have been trained in and using CBT as the foundation for treatment for OCD, anxiety, phobias, panic and related disorders for the duration of my time as a therapist.
