Compassionate, evidence-based support for OCD and intrusive thoughts
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood, but for those living with it, its impact is very real.
Caitlin Entwistle Egan, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializes in evidence-based support for OCD and related challenges, offering compassionate care to help individuals navigate intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and the emotional weight they carry. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD is characterized by recurrent, unwanted, and distressing thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce the anxiety these thoughts produce. These patterns can significantly interfere with daily life – affecting work, relationships, routines, and peace of mind. While it may feel isolating, OCD is a recognized and treatable condition, and support can make a profound difference in how you live with it. Treatments of OCD
Caitlin’s approach to OCD and emotional well-being
Caitlin Entwistle Egan’s therapy style is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and individualized care. She believes that healing begins with being heard in a safe, non-judgmental setting where you can explore your thoughts, experiences, and goals openly. Using evidence-informed methods tailored to each client’s needs, Caitlin helps individuals unravel the patterns that maintain distress and, over time, build greater confidence and ease. Caitlin Entwistle Egan Bio
Key elements of her approach include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – a foundational, evidence-based method for addressing thoughts and behaviors that fuel OCD.
- Exposure-based practices – techniques focused on facing anxiety-triggering situations in a guided, therapeutic setting.
- Custom strategies for emotional regulation, coping skills, and resilience
Through this collaborative process, clients learn not only how to reduce the grip of compulsions but also how to understand the narratives that drive them – empowering individuals to reclaim space, choice, and calm.
Why professional support matters
Living with OCD can feel like a cycle that never stops – especially when the very thoughts and behaviors meant to soothe anxiety end up increasing it instead. Research shows that cognitive-behavioral therapy with exposure and response prevention (ERP) – the core of many OCD treatment plans – is highly effective at helping individuals manage symptoms and decrease interference in daily life.

Seeking support from a therapist experienced in OCD invites a partnership grounded in understanding, skill, and evidence-backed strategies. You don’t have to face OCD alone – with the right guidance and tools, it’s possible to find relief and move toward a more fulfilling life. Understanding OCD
