Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for OCD: Rewiring Thought Patterns for Anxious New Moms and More in Houston, TX

Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is exhausting, especially for new moms facing heightened anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and overwhelming responsibility. Whether you're navigating new postpartum changes or have struggled with OCD for years, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers a practical, evidence-based path to relief. At Emily Blessinger Counseling, I specialize in helping women and other individuals in Houston, Texas, rewire anxious thought patterns and regain peace of mind through CBT for OCD.

How Does CBT Work?

CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping the unhelpful beliefs and thought cycles that drive compulsive behaviors. For new moms, this might look like fears around harming the baby, obsessive cleaning rituals, or constant checking. These thoughts feel intense, but they’re also treatable. Through targeted CBT sessions, clients learn how to:

• Recognize and challenge intrusive or irrational thoughts
• Reduce the urge to perform compulsions
• Build tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort
• Develop healthier, more balanced thinking patterns

CBT is effective both in person and online. I offer in-person therapy in Houston and secure telehealth therapy sessions for those who prefer the flexibility of virtual care. My goal is to create a supportive space where anxious new moms and others with OCD can feel seen, not judged. Many clients find relief and regain confidence in their ability to manage distressing thoughts, without letting them control daily life.
