A little about me

Hi, I’m Isaac, a bilingual therapist who works in English and Spanish. I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker practicing under clinical supervision.

If you feel stuck in anxiety spirals, intrusive thoughts, or compulsions that don’t make sense but still feel impossible to stop, you’re not alone, and you’re not “too much.” I want therapy to feel grounded, respectful, and collaborative, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood or judged before.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 13 years in public schools supporting children and families through anxiety, trauma, and stress. I saw how often pain shows up as perfectionism, avoidance, irritability, or self-doubt, and how often people get labeled instead of helped.

Who I work with

I work with children, teens, and adults who feel trapped in OCD or anxiety loops, like rumination, reassurance-seeking, checking, or avoidance, who want practical tools alongside insight, and who are ready to build confidence facing their fears at a pace that feels doable.

My approach to therapy

Isaac Rosas Gandara, LMSW – OCD & Anxiety Focused Therapist at Layers Counseling Specialists in Plano, Texas

I use exposure and response prevention (ERP), the most studied treatment for OCD and a proven approach for many kinds of anxiety. ERP helps your brain learn a new response to fear: noticing intrusive thoughts or anxious feelings without doing compulsions or avoiding things to feel better.

My style is warm, steady, and structured. Together we’ll:

  • Understand your OCD or anxiety cycle, so shame goes down and clarity goes up
  • Set goals that fit your life and values
  • Build a step-by-step plan for ERP practice
  • Stay on track between sessions

My work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive. We move with your consent and at your pace, and we make room for the things that shape anxiety and OCD, like family, identity, culture, and your own story.

More than just your therapist

Outside of sessions, I’m usually taking long walks with my dogs, listening to music, watching thought-provoking horror films, playing story-driven RPGs, or tending to my plants. I also keep a personal mindfulness practice that helps me stay grounded and present, the same steadiness I bring into the therapy room.
