Lili Daoud LCSW
Psychotherapist
My practice consists of all ages. I focus on treating OCD and complex anxiety disorders. For OCD, I employ ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) techniques, which have demonstrated a high efficacy rate in reducing symptoms. I complement this with cognitive restructuring techniques to address any ancillary issues. that might impact the OCD treatment.
Patients with anxiety disorders often experience significant improvement within just a few sessions. In treating eating disorders, I carefully consider the impact of comorbid conditions Typically, therapy concludes within a few months, allowing patients to return to their daily lives with improved coping mechanisms and reduced symptoms.
Eating disorders and OCD often present together. My treatment structure would involve E/RP for the OCD aspects of both disorders and REBT for any ancillary irrational thoughts that may be impacting the client’s life in a negative way. I assess their BMI and what foods they are avoiding and we begin to integrate those foods into their diet. The cognitive restructuring is essential in eating disorders on both spectrums.
I have been treating OCD and spectrum disorders with E/RP and Cognitive Restructuring for over 20 years. I completed the BTTI at UPenn and followed up with many OCD Conventions. including the Master Clinicians 4 day Intensive in Puerto Rico in 2020.
I have completed the cultural competency training required and have worked successfully with many cultures.
