OCD & Anxiety Therapy — Evidence-Based Help for Overthinking Minds
Real tools, not just talk. Specializing in ERP and ACT for OCD and anxiety across Ohio (telehealth).
Kevin Jaworski, LPCC is a licensed therapist in Ohio specializing in obsessive–compulsive and anxiety disorders.
My approach integrates exposure-based, acceptance-oriented, and compassion-focused methods. I help people step out of the mental loops that keep them stuck and return to what matters most.
Outside of sessions, I write about the science of change—making evidence-based ideas accessible to anyone curious about how minds heal.
How I Help
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for obsessive–compulsive disorder. We gradually face the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger anxiety—and learn to resist the rituals or mental maneuvers that keep it alive. Over time, fear loses its authority and flexibility returns.
I integrate a few complementary approaches—each grounded in evidence and adapted to what you need most.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches psychological flexibility. Instead of fighting or analyzing every thought, you learn to make space for discomfort and move toward the life you actually want. It pairs naturally with ERP, helping you relate differently to fear and uncertainty.
Parts and Compassion-Focused Work
Alongside the structured exposure work, we sometimes explore the “parts” of you that react to fear—the inner critics, protectors, and worriers. This approach, influenced by Internal Family Systems, brings empathy and understanding to the process without replacing evidence-based methods.
Telehealth Across Ohio
All sessions are virtual, allowing you to do the work where it matters most—your real environment. Telehealth makes ERP more practical: we can target triggers in your home, daily routine, or online spaces. It’s private, accessible, and evidence-supported. These approaches work together to help you stop spiraling, reduce avoidance, and reconnect with what matters most.
Insights on Change
Therapy is one way to understand how the mind works. Writing is another. My essays explore the inner mechanics of OCD, anxiety, and overthinking — how fear loops sustain themselves, why certainty is so seductive, and what helps when insight alone isn’t enough.
Each piece blends evidence-based ideas with lived experience, aiming to make the science of change something you can feel, not just think about.
Getting Started
Therapy isn’t about silencing your thoughts — it’s about learning a new way to relate to them. Whether you’re struggling with OCD, anxiety, or the exhaustion of overthinking, meaningful change begins by taking that first small step.
