OCD therapy in Springville and online across Utah, including Exposure, Response Prevention (ERP), and I-CBT. We’ll help you spend less time caught in overthinking and compulsions and build confidence in handling difficult moments, so OCD doesn’t get to make so many of your decisions.
Spend less time replaying, second-guessing, worrying, or trying to think your way into feeling okay.
Build practical skills for anxiety, difficult emotions, and old patterns when they show up in daily life.
Spend less time letting fear decide for you and more time moving toward what actually matters to you.
It has a way of making you question things you already know and doubt things that matter to you. We see the potential underneath all that noise and we’ll help you build the skills to start choosing your life instead of letting OCD choose it for you.
OCD Therapy is designed to help with the intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, rumination, and avoidance that can start taking up way too much space in your day. One of the most common approaches is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps you practice facing thoughts, feelings, or situations that make you anxious without automatically checking, avoiding, asking for reassurance, or doing something to make the discomfort go away.
However, ERP isn’t the only tool we use. We also utilize Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), a specialized approach that helps you address the root of OCD by examining the “obsessive doubt” and the faulty inferences that trigger the cycle in the first place, rather than focusing solely on exposures.
At New Horizon Therapy, OCD therapy is practical and personal. We help you understand the cycle you’re getting caught in, notice what keeps pulling you back into it, and build skills you can actually use in everyday life.
ERP — Exposure and Response Prevention
ERP helps you gradually face anxiety-provoking thoughts, feelings, or situations while reducing the compulsions or avoidance you normally use to feel better.
ACT — Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT can help you make room for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate your next move.
CBT — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I-CBT — Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
I-CBT helps you address obsessive doubts at their root by examining the faulty inferences and reasoning traps that trigger the OCD cycle in the first place, rather than focusing solely on facing anxiety.
Mindfulness and body awareness
Because anxiety is not only something you think, therapy may also help you notice how it shows up physically and learn how to respond without immediately trying to escape it.
Values-based work
This helps you separate what matters to you from what OCD is demanding so you can make more intentional choices.
You don’t need to know exactly what to call what you’re going through. Sometimes you just know something is taking up too much of your time, energy, or headspace.
That’s exactly what the consultation is for. Bring your questions. Bring the messy version of the story. Tell us what you do know, and we’ll help you figure out what might make sense from here.
Here, we see all of you, not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. OCD may be part of your life, but it isn’t the whole story of who you are. We’re here to help you understand your experience, and also want to get to know you. We want to know what matters most to you. What kind of spouse, parent, friend, student, partner, or person do you want to be? What choices would you make if OCD and anxiety weren’t making so many of the decisions for you?
When OCD gets loud, it can be hard to hear your own voice. Think of OCD as a voice with a megaphone: loud, familiar, and very convincing, but not the only voice in the room. Together, we’ll work on noticing when OCD is talking, reconnecting with what matters to you, and making choices based on your values instead of fear, avoidance, or compulsions. We’ll go at a pace that respects how hard it can be to do something different, while still helping you take meaningful steps forward. Even when OCD has a lot to say.
We help you recognize when OCD and anxiety are taking over so you can reconnect with your own voice and live according to what matters most to you.
We’ll start with a free 15 minute consultation. You don’t need a perfectly organized story or the right words for everything. Just tell us what’s been happening and what you’re hoping will feel different. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and help you figure out where to go from here.
If you already know who you’d like to work with, that’s completely fine, just let us know. If you’re not sure, you can skip the homework of reading every bio and trying to choose on your own.
We’ll get to know what you need, what works with your schedule and insurance, and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. Then we’ll connect you with the therapist who seems like the best fit.
What you learn in therapy is meant to come with you. You’ll start noticing patterns, practicing useful skills, and trying new ways of responding when anxiety or difficult emotions show up. That’s where all of this can start making a real difference.
Our therapists work with adults dealing with OCD, anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, panic, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life changes, compulsive behaviors, and other patterns that are getting in the way of everyday life.
No. Some people come to us already knowing they have OCD. Others have been told they have anxiety, ADHD, or something else. Some people simply know they’re stuck in a pattern they can’t seem to change.
We can start with what you’re noticing in your everyday life and talk about whether our practice feels like the right fit.
Yes. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one of the evidence-based approaches our therapists use for OCD. ERP helps you practice being around thoughts, feelings, and situations that bring up anxiety while changing how you usually respond to the urge to complete a compulsion.
Depending on what you need, therapy may also include Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) to address obsessive doubts at their root, along with ACT, CBT, mindfulness, values work, and other helpful tools.
It depends on you. Your therapist may use approaches like ERP, Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or other practical tools based on what you’re working through. The goal is to help you understand the pattern and know what to do when it shows up in real life.
