"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." I'm an LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience, and I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout Ohio. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, men's mental health, PTSD, and life transitions — but most of the people I work with don't arrive with a clean diagnosis. They arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like they've been managing too much for too long.I work with adults and seniors who are done feeling like they have to figure everything out alone. My approach is direct and warm — I'm not going to sit in silence waiting for you to lead. We work together. I use DBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based techniques, but in practice that means building skills that actually fit your life, not homework from a textbook.I'm particularly well-suited to working with men who've been skeptical about therapy, adults navigating ADHD later in life, and anyone carrying grief they haven't had space to process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation before your first session so you can decide if we're a good fit.
I'm a seasoned counselor with a broad range of experience. I am most passionate about working with couples.I thrive on facilitating healing & growth in relationships.I also specialize in spiritually integrated psychotherapy, anxiety, depression, and addictions. I hold advanced degrees in Theology and Counseling, and I have completed postgraduate clinical training in Couples Counseling, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Spiritual Direction, Pastoral Counseling, and Addictions.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide compassionate, supportive mental health care centered on medication management. To enhance your treatment, I integrate brief, supplemental supportive interventions and targeted coping strategies when clinically indicated. I am currently accepting new patients (ages 18–64) and have immediate openings with flexible scheduling for both online and in-person appointments.
I support adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, complex trauma and PTSD, substance and alcohol use, grief, major life transitions, career questions, and relationship concerns. I’m an LPCC-S and LICDC, and I see therapy as a way to regain a stronger sense of agency in your life.
Dr. Rose Mary Shaw, PsyD, an experienced private practice psychologist, now joins Headway's online community. She brings her compassionate, action-oriented approach to you, in the privacy of your home.
Hello, I’m Bianca, and I’m glad you’re taking this step toward supporting your well-being. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience.

I work with adults (18+) who are navigating symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life stressors.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Columbus
Finding OCD therapists in Columbus starts with looking for training that matches your needs. Obsessive-compulsive disorder may involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, or anxiety that overlaps with other concerns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD-specific experience in their listed specialties and bios.
Columbus has many mental health care options, and that volume can make it harder to tell which therapist is the right fit. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near home, work, or school, while others use virtual sessions to access more scheduling options across Ohio. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Read each bio closely to see whether the therapist lists OCD as a general focus or describes specific ERP training and experience with anxiety and OCD therapy.
Therapy in Columbus can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their approach, confirm your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
