Hello there! My name is Anjelica and I look forward to learning more about you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. I received my BA in Psychology from Penn State and my MSW from Walden University. The majority of my experience as a young social worker came from a large community mental health agency in Ocean County, NJ. I spent a lot of time with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, major depression, trauma, ext). One of my favorite populations to work with are the homeless. I spent years working for PATH in the community and found this work exceptionally rewarding. I also worked for a time with local police departments as the department social worker. Another population I enjoy working with is teens. My graduate internship was at a shelter for children and adolescents aged 10-19 who were homelessness or waiting for foster placement. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors in an outpatient therapeutic setting.

Michele Marciano

Michele Marciano

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I've spent ten years in mental health — nine of them in the intersection of addiction and trauma — and what I've learned is that clinical tools only work when they're explained in ways people can actually use outside the therapy room.

My approach is energetic and practical: I break things down in plain language, connect them to real-life situations, and help clients build skills they can apply immediately. I work with adults on anxiety, PTSD, trauma, substance use, eating disorders, OCD, BPD, infertility, family stress, and relationship challenges.

As a Native American therapist, I bring cultural awareness and lived understanding to my work — especially for clients navigating identity, systemic barriers, and experiences that don't always fit standard clinical frameworks.

Virtual & in-person • Cherry Hill Township, NJ


At Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Southern New Jersey, we specialize in psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults, and we've spent decades doing this work at every level — from a child struggling to focus in school, to complex cases involving severe autism, suicidal behavior, substance use, and everything in between. We don't cherry-pick the easy cases. We show up for the hard ones.

What makes us different: We're not content to offer what every other practice offers. We are constantly evolving — because psychiatry is evolving — and we believe our patients deserve access to the most advanced, effective tools available anywhere.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Finding the right OCD therapist in Jersey City starts with understanding the type of care that fits your needs. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is often addressed with specialized therapeutic approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a qualified licensed provider can help determine what approach may be appropriate for your needs. Some providers also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). Look for a licensed provider — such as a psychologist, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or licensed professional counselor (LPC) — who has specific training in these approaches rather than a generalist.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Jersey City or virtual appointments, which can make it easier to fit care into your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style, specialties, and experience with OCD before you commit. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're the right match.

OCD therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
