When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough:
Intensive Daily OCD & Anxiety Treatment

Who Can Benefit from This Program?

The Intensive ERP Program may be a good fit if you:

Find that once-weekly therapy is not enough support right now
Are experiencing more severe or time-consuming OCD or anxiety symptoms
Spend significant portions of your day managing intrusive thoughts or completing rituals
Are avoiding important parts of life (work, school, driving, relationships, leaving home) due to anxiety
Have made progress in weekly therapy but feel stuck or plateaued
Need more consistent structure to build momentum
Are preparing for a life transition (college, job change, relocation) and want to strengthen skills more quickly
Want focused, daily guidance to practice exposures and reduce avoidance

This program provides more frequent, structured support while allowing you to remain in your home and community.

How the Program Works

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The process begins with a brief phone consultation. This call gives us an opportunity to learn more about your needs, answer questions about the program, and determine whether the Intensive ERP Program may be a good fit.

Step 2: Intake and Assessment

Next, you will meet virtually with a clinician for a 60-minute intake appointment. This session is billed separately and provides an opportunity to explore your symptoms, treatment history, and goals in greater depth. The information gathered helps us tailor the preparation phase and begin identifying the areas that will become the focus of intensive treatment.

Phase 1: Preparation & Planning

Before beginning daily treatment, you will meet individually with your therapist for approximately 4–8 preparation sessions. These sessions may take place over the course of a few weeks or be spread out over a longer period of time.

During this phase, you and your clinician will develop a detailed understanding of how OCD or anxiety is impacting your daily life, identify meaningful treatment goals, and explore the patterns that may be keeping symptoms stuck.

Together, you’ll create a personalized exposure plan tailored to your specific needs and priorities. By the time the intensive phase begins, you’ll have a clear roadmap and a strong foundation for the work ahead.

Phase 2: Daily Coaching

During the Daily Coaching Phase, clients participate in:

A minimum commitment of 2 weeks. The length of treatment is individualized based on each client’s clinical needs, goals, and progress.
Monday through Friday participation, with clients attending one or more of the following 90-minute coaching blocks each day based on their individualized treatment plan:
- Block A: 10:00–11:30 AM
- Block B: 1:00–2:30 PM
- Block C: 3:00–4:30 PM
When clinically appropriate, a parent, caregiver, partner, or other loved one may participate in treatment to learn strategies that support progress outside of sessions, drawing on principles from the SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) model.

Phase 3: Transition & Ongoing Care

As you near completion of the program, your clinician will work with you to develop a plan for maintaining progress and continuing treatment gains. Depending on your needs, this may include transitioning to weekly outpatient therapy, stepping down to a lower level of support, continuing treatment with your CBTeam clinician, or coordinating care with existing providers.

Our goal is not simply to help you make progress during the program, but to equip you with the skills, confidence, and support needed to continue moving forward after the intensive phase ends.
