Ann Thiel
I have a varied clientele in addition to my special interest in anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. For anxiety disorders, I utilize evidence-based cognitive-behavioral techniques, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). In general treatment with children I use directive and nondirective play therapy techniques to help them cope with various life stessors, such as divorce and other types of loss. I also work with parents/caretakers to help them develop successful parenting strategies. I especially enjoy using a combination of supportive therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to assist individuals of all ages in managing their stress and mood more effectively.
