Lauren Hunter, LCSW

Lauren Hunter, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
I specialize in OCD and use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Beyond our sessions, you'll have access to ongoing support when you need it most, including direct messaging, support groups, and real-time help when OCD symptoms spike. When I began having panic attacks in college, I did ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy. The more I leaned into the discomfort of facing my greatest fears, the more freedom and confidence I gained. I started to feel in control of my life again. This showed me the efficacy of ERP, which is also effective for OCD. My brother has OCD, which continues to inform my understanding of the diagnosis. This fuels my passion to make effective treatments more accessible to those who need them. In addition to OCD, I specialize in treating grief, anxiety, trauma, and depression.
