James DiLoreto

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist that provides empirically supported treatment for people struggling with OCD, anxiety, and depression. I use exposure and response prevention for individuals who have OCD. My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and interactive.”

About Me

I offer warm, empirically supported cognitive-behavioral therapy for those struggling with OCD, anxiety, and depression. My interactive approach focuses on practical strategies. For OCD, this includes Exposure and Response Prevention, helping you regain control. I create a compassionate space where we work together to build lasting coping skills. This style suits those seeking active, evidence-based support.

Approach

Sessions focus on practical, step-by-step work that moves you from worry to workable skills, using guided exposure-based techniques and behavioral experiments tailored to your pace. Whether in Canton or over English-language telehealth, I keep sessions interactive and goal-focused, mixing in brief in-session practice and clear between-session tasks so progress continues outside the hour. We track changes together, adjusting plans based on what helps most. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking active, evidence-grounded collaboration.
