OCD Therapist in Westlake | West Lake Hills, TX
In-person and telehealth OCD therapy on Bee Caves Road — serving Westlake, West Lake Hills, & the greater Austin area.
OCD Therapy Close to Home —
In Person or Online
If you live in Westlake or West Lake Hills and you’re looking for an OCD specialist you can actually see in person, Resilience Room Counseling is on Bee Caves Road — minutes from where you are. Loni Itah, MA, LPC, LCPC, LMHC, specializes exclusively in OCD. It’s her primary clinical focus, not one service among many.
Sessions are available in person at our Westlake office or via secure telehealth across Texas and select states — whichever works better for your schedule, your week, or your OCD presentation. Either way, treatment is built around ERP, ACT, and I-CBT, the most effective evidence-based approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
OCD doesn’t respond to general talk therapy the way it responds to structured, exposure-based work. If you’ve tried therapy before and it helped with stress but didn’t touch the intrusive thoughts, the checking, or the reassurance-seeking — that’s the gap we fill.
Our Westlake clients commonly come to us experiencing:
- Intrusive thoughts that feel urgent, disturbing, or “wrong”
- Mental compulsions, reassurance-seeking, rumination, or rituals
- Avoidance patterns that shrink your life
- Perfectionism, overcontrol, and decision-making anxiety
OCD treatment at Resilience Room Counseling is focused, intentional, and designed for individuals seeking effective OCD therapy in West Lake Hills. Treatment emphasizes learning how to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, uncertainty, and discomfort — so that decisions, relationships, and daily life are no longer controlled by anxiety.
How We Treat OCD in Westlake
OCD treatment is collaborative, structured, and deeply human. We integrate three evidence-based approaches:
ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention)
The gold standard for OCD. We’ll gradually help you face feared thoughts, sensations, or situations without performing compulsions — retraining your brain to tolerate uncertainty.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
Builds psychological flexibility and self-compassion. Instead of trying to eliminate uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, ACT helps you make room for them while living in alignment with your values.
I-CBT (Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
Targets obsessional doubt at its source — helping you understand how false fears are formed and rebuild trust in your reasoning, intuition, and reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sessions are typically 50 minutes weekly or biweekly, or can be offered as intensive sessions for those wanting a more immersive reset or deeper therapeutic focus.
Yes. Resilience Room Counseling provides specialized OCD therapy in West Lake Hills and serves clients in Westlake and the surrounding Austin area. Treatment focuses on evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), helping individuals reduce compulsions and respond differently to intrusive thoughts and anxiety.
Finding the right OCD therapist near West Lake Hills or Westlake involves looking for someone with specialized training in ERP and experience treating intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Working with a therapist who focuses specifically on OCD can make a meaningful difference in how effectively symptoms improve.
OCD can show up in many forms. Therapy often addresses intrusive thoughts and compulsions related to relationships, morality, responsibility, health anxiety, harm fears, perfectionism, and the need for certainty or control. Treatment focuses on the underlying OCD process rather than just the specific theme.
Yes. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the primary treatment used for OCD. ERP therapy in West Lake Hills involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations while resisting compulsions, allowing the brain to build tolerance to uncertainty and reduce anxiety over time.
Yes. In-person sessions are available for clients in West Lake Hills, Westlake, and nearby Austin neighborhoods. Therapy is also available virtually for those who prefer remote sessions or need more flexibility.
The length of OCD therapy varies depending on the individual, but many people begin to see meaningful progress within a few months of consistent work. Therapy focuses on building practical skills that help reduce compulsions and create lasting change beyond sessions.
Yes. OCD therapy is more structured and specialized than general anxiety therapy. Approaches like ERP are specifically designed to address intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, rather than trying to eliminate anxiety or analyze the content of thoughts.
OCD symptoms may fluctuate over time, but without targeted treatment, the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions often continues. Evidence-based OCD therapy helps break this cycle by changing how individuals respond to thoughts, rather than trying to control or eliminate them.
Reassurance can provide temporary relief, but it reinforces the OCD cycle by teaching the brain that uncertainty is dangerous and must be resolved. Over time, this increases reliance on reassurance and strengthens obsessive patterns. Therapy focuses on building tolerance for uncertainty instead.
