Evidence-Based Therapy
for OCD & Anxiety

Online therapy for adults
in Wisconsin and 41 States

When OCD and anxiety keep you stuck in overthinking, checking, reassurance, or the need to feel certain, life feels smaller. Therapy can help you step out of the cycle, build confidence in handling uncertainty, and get back to the life you want to be living.

Worry less. Live more.

Meet Dr. Johanna Wood

PHD, LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST

As an experienced clinician specializing in treating adults with OCD and anxiety disorders, I encourage my clients to take back their lives from OCD and anxiety.

I help people who constantly overthink, are desperate for certainty, and find themselves doing odd things just to get through the day (hello, compulsions!). Whether you are terrified of your thoughts, or exhausted from constant panic attacks, I can help.

Along with other forms of OCD and anxiety, I have a sub-specialty in scrupulosity: the intersection of faith and OCD. I’ve worked with individuals from different faith backgrounds (atheists, too!) to help them find freedom from the constant cycle of anxiety and guilt. Therapy can help you have faith in faith, again.

About Dr. Wood

I am passionate about evidence-based practice (aka science backed treatment), in combination with what works for you. Depending on your needs, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) may be used in treatment. All of these modalities are evidence-based, so you can feel confident knowing our work is backed by scientific research.

My goal is to meet you where you’re at and be your support to take a leap of faith, reframe uncertainty, and change your relationship with anxiety. I truly believe people have more courage than they think they do, and it is a privilege to support people embarking on this journey.

My Approach to Therapy

Treatment Specialities

  • Obsessions & Compulsions

    OCD can make you doubt yourself, seek reassurance, avoid things that feel risky, or get stuck trying to feel completely certain. Therapy can help you respond differently to OCD and start taking back the space it has taken up in your life.

  • Panic Attacks

    Panic attacks can make you feel like you’re dying, losing control, or losing your mind. When fear of the next attack starts shaping where you go and what you do, therapy can help you break that cycle and take your life back.

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety can look like constant worry, feeling on edge, overthinking everything, or avoiding situations because you’re afraid of what might happen. Therapy can help to challenge your anxiety.
