Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) is used to treat OCD to target and reduce obsessions & compulsions.
Panic Attacks
CBT for panic disorders aims to challenge and reduce the person's belief in the danger of their symptoms and the world around them.

How CBT Helps Children & Teens with Anxiety and OCD
We all feel overwhelmed at times. School and team stressors, family or relationship problems, health concerns, losses, and everyday worries can make anyone struggle. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based practice that effectively helps children and adolescents identify negative thought patterns and how they create uncomfortable feelings and maladaptive behaviors. CBT can help your child pinpoint triggers and learn new, positive ways to cope — whether they are dealing with anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, panic attacks, or the pressures of competitive sport.
