Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists in Springboro, OH
I use therapeutic approaches like DBT, CBT, ERP, and other evidence-based therapies to create treatment that's personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
If you've spent years trying to outthink your anxiety, you've probably already realized it doesn't work that way. Anxiety is convincing—it tells us to prepare more, avoid more, seek more certainty, or keep pushing until everything feels under control. But instead of feeling more in control, you often end up feeling more overwhelmed than ever. I enjoy working with teens, college students, and adults who are tired of feeling stuck in cycles of worry, panic, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or self-doubt. My style is genuine, collaborative, and warm.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapists
Do I need exposure and response prevention therapy?
Many clients decide to seek help for obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors when these symptoms are distressing enough to disrupt everyday life. Any thoughts or behaviors that cause friction in close relationships are also worth addressing. In addition, the client’s symptoms don’t have to be severe for them to benefit from ERP therapy.
Is exposure and response prevention therapy part of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Exposure and response prevention is one specific type of CBT that focuses on behavioral change in response to triggering stimuli. It is related to exposure therapy but adds an additional component of preventing compulsive and harmful responses.
How long does exposure and response prevention therapy take?
While every patient is different, exposure and response prevention therapy typically lasts around 12 sessions, although some treatments can take longer. A therapist will determine if the treatment is complete based on how the client faces their fears, particularly the strongest ones. When a client feels less anxiety about stimuli that once evoked terror or distress, that is generally an indication that they are nearing the end of ERP therapy.
What are the limitations of exposure and response prevention therapy?
The most common pitfalls of exposure and response prevention therapy include not addressing a client’s core fears, allowing the client to avoid their most distressing stimuli, and using imaginary exposure when the client requires real-life exposure (and vice versa). ERP therapy is most effective when the client commits to the full course of treatment; if the client stops early or doesn’t practice what they have learned outside of therapy sessions, they are less likely to have successful outcomes.
