HOW WE TREAT OCD
ERP first, and how it reaches you in Chattanooga
Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the first-line treatment for OCD, and it is where we start. Rather than talking the doubt through, ERP has you meet a trigger and leave the compulsion or the reassurance undone, so the alarm settles by itself. Where obsessional doubt drives the cycle, we bring in inference-based CBT alongside it, and we adapt the work for autistic and ADHD clients.
For Chattanooga, that care arrives by secure video. You are not held on a local waitlist, and you are not asked to drive to Nashville for a weekly appointment. Sessions run from home, from work, or from a parked car between classes, as long as you are in Tennessee at the time.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE SCIENCEWORKS
Why Chattanooga clients choose us
Out-of-network and independent, so nobody outside the room decides how many ERP sessions your treatment is allowed to run to.
OCD is what your clinician does most weeks - ERP and inference-based CBT as core practice, not an occasional add-on to anxiety work.
Because care reaches Chattanooga by video, your options are every OCD specialist we employ, not only the ones within driving distance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions people ask first
Do you have an office in Chattanooga?
No. Our only office is in Nashville, so OCD therapy for Chattanooga clients is delivered by secure video rather than in person locally. You join from home, work, or school, and you need to be somewhere in Tennessee during the session.
Which clinician would I be working with?
One of two: Brittany Lippert, PsyD, or Abigail Jones, LMSW, TGM. Both carry OCD caseloads and both see Chattanooga clients by video. We have openings now, and the free 15-minute call is with whichever of them you would be seeing.
What does a week of OCD therapy actually look like?
A 50-minute video session each week, plus exposure practice you do between sessions and we review together. We go over fees, scheduling, and out-of-network reimbursement on the free call, before you commit to anything.
