Joice Franciele Friedrich Almansa

As a licensed psychologist practicing since 2016, I provide online assessment and treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder and related anxiety concerns. I support clients experiencing checking, contamination and cleaning fears, intrusive thoughts, Pure-O, health, harm, religious, sexual, existential, relationship, “just right,” real-event, and hoarding-related symptoms. My approach draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, imaginal exposure, habit reversal, and the Four-Step Method. Treatment is collaborative, gradual, and adapted to each client’s needs, helping them understand the OCD cycle, reduce compulsions and avoidance, tolerate uncertainty, and regain autonomy in daily life.
