I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

Hello, my name is Carolann and I am looking forward to working with you! As human beings, we experience peaks and valleys within our lives that may result in various experiences and feelings. When things are going well, we can feel happy, content, thankful, and even elated. When things are not going well, we can feel down, sad, overwhelmed, and alone. We all deserve to live with the most happiness possible within our lives, but life often brings with it enormous unwanted challenges that result in bringing us down. If you are not feeling emotionally/mentally well as you desire, I am here to help you!

My therapeutic style is eclectic as I adapt my work in therapy sessions according to your needs. "Believing in yourself is a great first step!"
Some of my techniques include DBT, CBT, (TF-CBT), motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, family dynamics, interpersonal/relational advocacy & therapy, and clinical case management.

My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
Are you tired of carrying the weight of everything on your own? Ready to stop feeling stuck and start creating meaningful change? I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, family challenges, OCD, health-related stress, sexual identity exploration, seasonal affective disorder, work stress, and major life transitions. You deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, explore new perspectives, and develop practical strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Lexington, MA
When searching for OCD therapists in Lexington, start by looking for a therapist with specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder and exposure and response prevention, often called ERP. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and mental rituals. Many therapists support anxiety or stress, but not all have training in ERP. Reading bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD experience can help you find a therapist whose approach matches what you want from care.
Lexington is a smaller market, so the number of local OCD therapists with ERP training may be limited. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Massachusetts while still giving you access to care from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and experience with OCD-specific care.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review bios, filter by preferences, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
