OCD Is Not About Being Clean. It’s About Fear.

OCD is widely misunderstood. It’s not about tidiness or double-checking the stove. It’s a cycle of intrusive thoughts that feel unbearable, and compulsions that temporarily relieve the anxiety — but make OCD stronger over time. It’s exhausting, isolating, and often deeply shameful.

At Darin King Counseling, we treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention — the gold standard, most evidence-based treatment for OCD. ERP works by gradually exposing you to the thoughts and situations that trigger OCD while resisting the compulsions, breaking the cycle at its source. We work with all OCD subtypes including those that are rarely talked about.

  • Intrusive thoughts that feel horrifying and that you can’t stop despite desperately wanting to
  • Compulsions — checking, counting, repeating, seeking reassurance — that temporarily relieve anxiety but make it worse
  • Avoidance of situations, people, or thoughts that trigger OCD
  • Hours lost each day to the OCD cycle
  • Shame about the content of your intrusive thoughts — believing they mean something about you
  • OCD that has been mistakenly treated as general anxiety without improvement
“Intrusive thoughts do not reflect your values or your character. OCD picks the things you care most about — that’s how it works. It’s treatable.”

Evidence-Based Approaches

Evidence-Based OCD Treatment Approaches

We draw from multiple evidence-based modalities tailored to your specific OCD presentation and needs.

Gold Standard

Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is the most evidence-based treatment for OCD — consistently producing significant improvement. ERP works by gradually confronting feared thoughts and situations while resisting compulsions, breaking the OCD cycle at its source.

Evidence-Based

CBT for OCD

Cognitive approaches help you understand the nature of intrusive thoughts, why they feel so meaningful, and why the content of the thoughts does not reflect your character or intentions.

Complementary

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT for OCD teaches psychological flexibility — allowing intrusive thoughts to exist without treating them as commands or threats, reducing their power without neutralizing or avoiding them.

Specialist

All OCD Subtypes

We work with all presentations including Harm OCD, Relationship OCD (ROCD), Contamination OCD, Scrupulosity, Pure Obsessional (Pure O), Health OCD, Existential OCD, and False Memory OCD.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Exposure and Response Prevention gradually exposes you to the thoughts or situations that trigger OCD while resisting the compulsion. This teaches your brain that the feared outcome doesn’t occur and that you can tolerate the anxiety without compulsing — breaking the OCD cycle at its source.
Yes. Pure Obsessional OCD — where compulsions are primarily mental rather than behavioral — is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed and undertreated OCD presentations. We have specialist experience with Pure O and all its subtypes.
Yes. Research confirms telehealth ERP is equally effective as in-person delivery. Telehealth can actually be advantageous for OCD since exposures can be practiced in the real environments that trigger OCD.
Yes. OCD is a recognized mental health diagnosis covered by major insurance plans. We accept UPMC Health Plan, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare/Optum.
