Reframing Anxiety and OCD: Finding Help with CBT and ERP Across Marin County
Julie Hingsbergen
LMFT, CBT & ERP Specialist
If you live in Marin County and struggle with anxiety, panic, or obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), you’re not alone — and effective, evidence-based treatment is available close to home. From San Rafael to Mill Valley, Novato to Sausalito, residents throughout the North Bay are finding relief through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — two of the most proven methods for anxiety and OCD recovery.
At Reframe CBT, Julie Hingsbergen, LMFT offers personalized therapy for teens and adults throughout Marin County — including San Anselmo, Fairfax, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Ross, and Tiburon. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or online teletherapy, Reframe CBT helps you rewire anxious thoughts, manage uncertainty, and build lasting peace of mind.
What Is CBT — and Why It Works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When anxiety takes hold, the mind can feel stuck in repetitive worry or “what-if” loops. CBT helps you recognize these patterns and replace them with realistic, compassionate perspectives.
Residents across Marin County — from San Rafael and San Anselmo to Corte Madera and Novato — often seek CBT to reduce overthinking, manage panic, and regain emotional balance. It’s not about ignoring fear; it’s about learning how to respond differently to it.
At Reframe CBT, sessions are practical, collaborative, and growth-oriented. You’ll develop tools you can use daily — whether that’s navigating social anxiety in Mill Valley, calming racing thoughts before a presentation in Sausalito, or finding steadiness during stressful life transitions in Fairfax.
ERP for OCD: Breaking the Cycle of Compulsion
If you struggle with intrusive thoughts or repetitive rituals, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can be life-changing. ERP gently teaches you to face fears without performing the compulsions that temporarily ease anxiety — like checking, washing, or mental reviewing. Over time, your brain learns that anxiety fades naturally, even without the ritual.
Clients seeking ERP for OCD in San Anselmo, Larkspur, Tiburon, and Ross have found this structured, supportive approach highly effective., ERP is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD and Julie’s warm, collaborative style ensures that therapy always feels safe and manageable.
