Kelly Sansone
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MSW, LCSW
About
I have lived experience with OCD and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). I know firsthand the difference that effectively managing your OCD symptoms can make. I am a relationship-based therapist and believe establishing rapport and trust early on is a must. ERP is very effective and works quickly. I love helping people develop new skills that lead to positive outcomes in their lives. It is so gratifying to see people get their lives back. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs).

Kelly has helped teach strategies to reduce compulsive behaviors. The larger picture is how to attack and defeat the overwhelming anxiety. Able to address in last session

Incredibly understanding, walked through my current habits of concern with me and we troubleshooted together on what triggers might be as well as the best course of action to begin progressive exposure to triggering stimuli. Incredibly professional conduct. Excellent listener and therapist. Felt very good to be able to talk about these habits and feel not only heard but understood. And for me to be able to demonstrate it without feeling too embarrassed or awkward about it. Thank you.

a majority of the session was discussing how OCD works, which I feel like I already knew. I would've liked to do more concrete work.

Even though this was our first session together we got started on some ERP exposures. It was definitely challenging but that makes me optimistic I'm going to improve with our work together.

Kelly clearly is a person who acknowledges the human experience in therapy. Talking to her I felt as if she was truly listening not to diagnose me but to help me understand what expectations I can reach.
