Anna Janiszewski | LMSW
Specializing in Adult OCD and Anxiety Utilizing ERP, ACT, and IFS
Anna works primarily with adult individuals on issues related to OCD and anxiety.
Do you have intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or sensations that are causing anxiety or other challenges in your life? They could be focused on health issues, other forms of harm to self or others, fears around identity and authenticity, social or other phobias, or simply feelings of things not being “just right.” You might be distressed by taboo sexual thoughts or consumed with fears of contamination or disease. The possibilities are endless! But your suffering doesn’t have to be.
In addition to OCD, Anna works with clients who experience phobias, health anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, hoarding, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin-picking or hair-pulling).
Anna’s Therapy Style
Anna will work collaboratively with you to identify the ways in which anxiety, OCD, or other issues are impacting your life and help you design a structured plan to change the behaviors that perpetuate them.
She primarily utilizes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, along with other evidence-based approaches to OCD and anxiety, like Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapy. She also draws from the tools and perspectives of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Existential therapies.
Anna’s Story
Anna knows personally how OCD and anxiety can slowly take over your life–preventing you from engaging fully in the activities and relationships you care most about and trapping you in a vicious cycle of overwhelming thoughts and repeated efforts to try to quell them. She’s passionate about helping others out of this trap and back into their lives!
Anna has worked with individuals, couples, and teens on a range of issues: trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, substance use, attachment, and relationship challenges of all sorts. She brings this broad experience to each session, firmly believing there’s no single approach that’s going to work perfectly for everyone–even with specialized treatment. She has always been eager to learn and has grown tremendously through her own personal experiences of grief and healing, radical acceptance, and the call to lean into what scares her–all challenges she strives to take on every day. She is LGBTQIA+ affirmative and Poly/ENM and kink-friendly.
