Question 2

What therapy services does Reframe CBT offer in Marin County?

Accepted Answer

Reframe CBT offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for children, teens, college students, and adults in Marin County, California. Services include treatment for OCD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias (including fear of flying),  and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin picking and hair pulling.

Question 3

What is the difference between stress and anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Stress is typically a response to an external cause — a deadline, a difficult situation — and tends to resolve once the stressor is removed. Anxiety, on the other hand, persists even in the absence of an obvious stressor. It often involves excessive worry, physical symptoms like a racing heart, and can interfere with daily life. Both can be effectively addressed through CBT.

Question 4

What are the symptoms of OCD?

Accepted Answer

OCD is characterized by obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce that anxiety). Common obsessions include fears of contamination, harm, or making mistakes. Common compulsions include checking, cleaning, counting, and seeking reassurance. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD.

Does Julie Hingsbergen offer telehealth therapy in California?

Accepted Answer
