Asking for help takes strength.
Dr. Rood provides individual psychotherapy by telehealth for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship or communication difficulties, and major life transitions — with particular depth in panic disorder, OCD-spectrum conditions, and paruresis. Treatment draws from CBT, ACT, and exposure-based techniques as needed, with progress tracked collaboratively over time.
I intentionally limit my weekly appointments to give existing clients the attention and consistency long-term care requires — currently accepting a limited number of new clients.

My Approach
Treatment grounded in evidence
I draw from evidence-based approaches — primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — tailored to what brings you to therapy, whether that's anxiety, a difficult transition, or a pattern you're ready to change. For anxiety and OCD-spectrum concerns specifically, this often includes structured exposure work adapted for telehealth. Throughout, the approach stays genuinely collaborative: treatment is built around your goals, not a fixed protocol.
I also practice measurement-based care — tracking validated symptom scales at intervals so progress is visible, not just felt. More on how that works on the Services page.
- Individualized, evidence-based treatment built around your goals
- Progress tracked with validated clinical measures
- Long-term, continuity-based relationships, supported by an intentionally small weekly caseload
Illustrative Example
Tracking symptom change over time
Sample visualization only — not real patient data. Your own scores are reviewed privately with you each interval.
