OCD care at our Winter Park clinic

Our Winter Park clinic at 2281 Lee Rd Suite 102 provides specialized OCD treatment in a private, comfortable setting designed to support the therapeutic process. Obsessive-compulsive disorder affects roughly 2-3% of the population, yet many individuals go years without an accurate diagnosis because OCD symptoms can mimic generalized anxiety or depression. At Empathy Health Clinic, we understand that OCD is not simply "being neat" or "worrying too much" — it involves persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that drive repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) aimed at neutralizing distress. Our clinicians are trained to identify the full spectrum of OCD presentations, from contamination fears and checking behaviors to less recognized forms like harm OCD, relationship OCD, and existential obsessions. We offer both in-person sessions at our Winter Park office and secure telehealth appointments so you can access evidence-based care on a schedule that works for you.

Evaluation process

Every OCD treatment plan at our clinic begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation that distinguishes OCD from overlapping conditions such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or health anxiety. During your initial visit, your clinician will conduct a structured clinical interview and may use validated assessment tools like the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) to measure symptom severity across different obsession and compulsion categories. We take time to understand your specific triggers, avoidance patterns, and the impact OCD has on your daily functioning — including work, relationships, and self-care. This detailed evaluation allows us to identify which OCD subtypes are present and whether co-occurring conditions like depression or social anxiety need to be addressed concurrently. The result is a personalized treatment roadmap with clear benchmarks so you can track your progress from the very first session.

Therapy-focused treatment

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is the gold standard for OCD treatment, and it forms the cornerstone of our therapeutic approach at Empathy Health Clinic. ERP works by gradually and systematically exposing you to the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger your obsessions while helping you resist the urge to perform compulsions. Over time, this process — known as habituation — reduces the anxiety associated with obsessive triggers and breaks the cycle that keeps OCD entrenched. Our therapists build individualized exposure hierarchies tailored to your specific fears, starting with moderately challenging exposures and progressing at a pace that feels manageable. We also integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques to address the distorted beliefs that fuel obsessions, such as inflated responsibility or intolerance of uncertainty. When therapy alone is insufficient, our psychiatric providers can prescribe SSRIs at the higher doses specifically indicated for OCD, creating a combined treatment strategy that addresses both neurological and behavioral components.

Telehealth options available

For clients who prefer the convenience of remote sessions or who find that certain exposures are more effectively practiced in their home environment, we offer comprehensive telehealth OCD treatment. Telehealth can actually enhance ERP therapy because you can work with your clinician while interacting with real-world triggers in the spaces where OCD affects you most — your kitchen, bathroom, or workspace. Our secure video platform allows your therapist to guide exposures in real time, observe your response patterns, and provide immediate coaching. Many clients find that alternating between in-person sessions at our Winter Park office and telehealth appointments creates an ideal balance of structured clinical work and real-world application. Whether you choose fully remote care or a hybrid model, you receive the same evidence-based ERP and CBT protocols delivered by clinicians with specialized OCD training.
