Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

I have experience and expertise using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to treat anxiety disorders and OCD. Together with client, I create a hierarchy of feared situations and gradually expose client (starting with the least to most anxiety inducing situation) to their fear, phobia, thought. The goal is to normalize the situation and reduce the distress/anxiety level; ultimately the individual learns to face previously feared situations with minimal or no anxiety.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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).

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

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) 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.

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!

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.

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

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).

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

I use ERP to disrupt the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) cycle. ERP has more scientific evidence behind it than any other approach for OCD and is therefore considered the “gold standard”. Through gradual, systematic real life (in-vivo) and imaginal exposure combined with ritual prevention you too can learn how to reduce your distress and reclaim your life from 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!
