Frances Vidot-Hidalgo PhD

My telemedicine-based practice provides comprehensive treatment for anxiety, PTSD, and OCD-related disorders. My experience has primarily been with pediatric OCD, using evidence-based Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques. I am now expanding services to include adult patients in my private practice, delivering accessible, culturally sensitive care for individuals across the OCD spectrum in Florida, EEUU.

I completed a 4-day intensive workshop in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, conducted by the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the University of Pennsylvania (CTSA) with certified ERP trainers. I also took CTSA’s specialized training in ERP for Pediatric OCD. In addition, I participate in weekly 90-minute group consultations on exposure therapies with a CTSA-certified ERP expert. This comprehensive training and ongoing professional development have equipped me with robust expertise in treating OCD and OCD Spectrum Disorders, ensuring my approach remains current and evidence-based.

I integrate a culturally sensitive approach in my therapy practice by honoring each patient’s unique background and incorporating their values into treatment. I offer bilingual services in English and Spanish and provide care that embraces a broad spectrum of diversities, ensuring every patient feels understood, respected, and empowered. Rooted in cultural humility and a multicultural perspective, I tailor treatment plans that blend evidence-based techniques with an appreciation for diverse experiences, creating a supportive environment for personal growth and wellness.

I have had the opportunity to work with ethnically diverse clients, individuals from varied gender identities, those with neurodevelopmental disabilities, and clients facing various health challenges. My education includes specialized training in multicultural counseling, supplemented by continuous professional development. Through workshops and self-reflection, I have refined my ability to integrate clients’ unique values into personalized treatment plans. This comprehensive approach enhances my cultural competency and commitment to delivering inclusive, respectful, and effective care.
