Kelsi Libfraind

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

I specialize in Evidence Based treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, PANS, Specific Phobias, Generalized Anxiety and Social Anxiety. I have almost 10 year of experience treating Obsessive Compulsive-Related Disorders and have trained under leading experts in the field.

About Me

If you're grappling with the relentless patterns of OCD, specific phobias, or the intense grip of anxiety, I offer a focused approach. I specialise in guiding adults toward lasting relief, with nearly ten years dedicated to these challenges. Drawing on evidence-based methods, refined through training with leading experts, I help you understand and shift challenging thoughts. My aim is to equip you with practical strategies to regain control and find calm.

Approach

When intrusive thoughts or overwhelming avoidance take hold, I focus therapy on practical, step‑by‑step shifts that reduce their control. I work with people in Charlotte and online, in English, and keep sessions structured and paced to your tolerance so progress feels manageable. We use brief assessments, collaborative goal‑setting, in‑session practice with gradual exposures and values‑focused experiments, plus concrete between‑session tasks to track change. Those who want measurable, skills‑based relief often find this approach fits.
