Step out of the thought loop.
Specialized therapy for OCD, emetophobia, panic, and anxiety that won’t let go.
Do intrusive thoughts, phobias, thought spirals, or worrying keep you from living your best life as a young adult?
Therapy with Jacleen Charbonneau, a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 10 years of experience, is focused on helping you effectively break out of the cycles that keep your anxiety going—not just manage them or talk through them.
Using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Jacleen helps clients work directly with the patterns underneath: intrusive thoughts, looping worries, compulsions, avoidance, reassurance seeking, and the need for certainty.
These approaches are helpful for many types of mental health symptoms, along with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), emetophobia (fear of vomiting), social anxiety, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, and skin picking.

Relentless daily worries
Skin picking & hair pulling (a.k.a BFRBs)
Evidence-based mental health therapy that can provide real results.
You might feel stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain.
Thoughts repeat. Doubt lingers. Anxiety spikes quickly—and even when you try to move on, something pulls you back in. You might find yourself avoiding situations, checking, overthinking, or trying to feel completely certain before you can relax.
If you struggle with OCD or phobias like fear of vomiting or fear of panic attacks, it can feel isolating. The thoughts don’t make sense, but they feel urgent. The fear feels real, even when part of you knows it shouldn’t.
On the outside, you may look like you’re managing. Internally, it’s exhausting.
These patterns aren’t random—and they’re not something you have to keep living with.
