Marie Albertson
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, LPC, LMHC
About
I take a person-centered and evidence-based approach to treating OCD. It's a challenging diagnosis that, when treated correctly, has life-changing results. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard for OCD treatment, but it doesn't work unless you work it. You must be willing to come to appointments and do homework. Remember that therapy is a safe zone to talk. This is a no-shame, no-blame space. I am always glad when people reach their personal goals and we can see symptom reduction. My other focus areas include depression and generalized anxiety.

It's great to have help with dealing with OCD and know I can use ERP to break the spin cycles OCD wants to keep me in. Thankful Marie has laid out steps to take to move through it.

I couldn't be happier with the OCD healing journey and how Marie helps me get through dealing with the stupid OCD monster that follows me everywhere. She helped me face my biggest fears head on. No way around them just learning to go through them.

My symptoms are way down. Marie helped me to realize this is no big deal to live with ocd. I got this.

I ask a lot of questions and Marie is always helpful at guiding me with metaphors, psychology research, and ERP to make for well rounded sessions. I feel like she's nuanced to your individual concerns and I've noticed my OCD has become more manageable since doing sessions with her. She's also good at helping me when I have bumps in recovery road. I highly recommend her!

Marie was so comforting throughout exposure therapy - balancing being mindful and understanding as to not give me reassurance I compulsively seek, but to calmly guide me to accept myself. She was able to pick up instantly on emotions I had difficulty communicating, teaching me exercises to calm myself. I feel like I’ve gained back control over my life and can begin to let go of a lot of fear. I’m excited to continue my journey, and I’m very happy I chose to commit to exposure therapy.
