ERP Therapy for OCD & Anxiety: Secure Telehealth Across California
Stop Organizing Your Life Around Fear
When your mind won’t let things rest
Your mind holds you hostage with questions that have no answers. You're exhausted from trying to think your way to certainty that never comes.
Life starts to shrink in subtle ways
Over time, your attention drifts away from the present moment.
You might feel less connected — to your work, your relationships, or the activities you used to enjoy — not because you don’t care, but because your mind is busy managing threat, uncertainty, or discomfort.
There is a way forward — without forcing certainty
Struggles like these aren’t a personal failure or lack of strength. They’re patterns — ones that can be understood and changed with the right approach.
Effective therapy doesn’t require you to eliminate fear, control your thoughts, or achieve perfect certainty.
Instead, it helps you relate differently to discomfort, uncertainty, and anxiety — so they no longer run the show. Relief is possible.
You may have tried logic, self-help, or reassurance. Nothing stuck. That’s understandable.
Your OCD & Anxiety Therapist in California
Matthew Baker, LCSW (CA #121926)
I’m a California therapist who specializes exclusively in evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders. I provide structured, hands-on therapy and work actively and collaboratively to help you reduce unhelpful responses, face uncertainty, and make meaningful, lasting progress.
Many of the people I work with experience thoughts or images that feel disturbing, confusing, or difficult to say out loud. I’ve worked across multiple treatment settings and approach this material with steadiness, professionalism, and care. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening and move forward with a clear plan and consistent guidance.
