Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Evidence-based, goal-oriented therapy for OCD, anxiety, and related challenges offered virtually, wherever you are.
What Is ERP?
ERP is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed to help you face your fears in a gradual, manageable way while resisting the urge to perform rituals or avoidance behaviors. Over time, this process retrains your brain to recognize that you can tolerate discomfort — and that anxiety naturally decreases without giving in to compulsions.
In ERP, you and Dr. Tice work together to identify your triggers, plan exposures at a pace that feels safe and achievable, and practice responding differently to intrusive thoughts or anxiety. Each session is structured, purposeful, and guided by evidence, not guesswork.
ERP Is the Gold Standard
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is one of the most effective, research-backed treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related conditions. At Proven Relief Therapy, Dr. Alex Tice uses ERP to help clients of all ages break free from the cycle of fear, avoidance, and compulsive behavior — and find real, lasting relief.
ERP is active, structured, and collaborative. It’s not about pushing people into fear, but about teaching the brain that anxiety doesn’t have to control your choices or define your life.
OCD and anxiety thrive on avoidance and temporary relief — the more you escape or neutralize fear, the stronger it becomes. ERP breaks that cycle by teaching you to stay present and resist unhelpful patterns, so fear loses its power over time.
