OCD Treatment

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Therapy in Plano, TX

Specialized Care for Real Relief — Backed by Science, Built on Compassion

If you’re caught in a relentless loop of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be this way. At Layers Counseling Specialists, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults in the Plano area find lasting relief from OCD.

Whether you’re struggling with compulsive handwashing, relationship doubts, or exhausting mental rituals, our team is trained in the latest evidence-based methods to help you get your life back.

We’re not just familiar with OCD—we’re fluent in it.

OCD Symptoms We Treat

  • Relationship OCD (ROCD): Persistent doubts about one’s relationship.
  • Sexual Orientation OCD (SO-OCD): Intrusive thoughts about one’s sexual orientation.
  • Religious or Scrupulosity OCD: Excessive concern with moral or religious purity.
  • Existential OCD: Obsessions about philosophical questions, such as the meaning of life.
  • Health Anxiety OCD: Fear of having a serious illness despite medical reassurance.

Understanding OCD

OCD isn’t just about quirks or being “super organized.” It’s a complex disorder involving unwanted intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors or mental strategies (compulsions) meant to reduce the anxiety they cause.

You might find yourself replaying conversations in your head, endlessly seeking reassurance, or silently neutralizing a “bad” thought with a “good” one. These invisible compulsions can be just as disruptive—and exhausting—as the physical ones.

Our Approach

We use gold-standard treatments, adapted to fit each client’s unique experience:

  • Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP): The most effective therapy for OCD, ERP involves gradually facing fears while resisting compulsions, building resilience over time.
  • Rumination-Focused ERP (RF-ERP): Developed specifically for mental compulsions. Our founder, Karla Pineda, LPC, trained directly with the method’s creator, Dr. Michael Greenberg.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Teaches clients to stop battling intrusive thoughts and start focusing on what really matters.

No scripts. No generic plans. Just real, evidence-based strategies for real people.
