I provide telehealth therapy for OCD and anxiety disorders for adults in Tennessee.

Hi, I’m Maranda Carney, a licensed therapist specializing in counseling for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related disorders. I understand how relentless and consuming anxiety can feel — whether it’s the loop of intrusive thoughts, the weight of compulsions, or the constant sense of unease. My goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and relief in your mental health journey.
I use a range of evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to your unique needs, including Inference based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I-CBT is especially effective for individuals struggling with obsessive doubts and mental rituals (often known as 'Pure O'), offering a powerful framework to challenge the distorted reasoning patterns that keep OCD in place.

My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I work to create a space where you feel supported — not judged — and where progress in your mental health feels achievable. Together, we’ll work toward breaking free from the cycle of anxiety and building a life driven by your values, not your fears through effective therapy.
You don’t have to face OCD or anxiety alone. I’m here to help you move forward in your mental health journey, one step at a time.

I specialize in counseling for the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related disorders, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, and panic disorder. In addition to addressing OCD and anxiety, I provide support for individuals struggling with substance abuse, helping clients develop healthier coping strategies and work toward recovery. My therapy also focuses on issues related to mental health, such as stress management, women’s issues—including life transitions, reproductive health, and self-esteem—and depression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a valuable approach in counseling for mental health. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another effective method used in therapy to address various issues. Integrative techniques combine different styles to best support clients. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) emphasizes the importance of mindfulness in mental health practices. Motivational Interviewing is a counseling technique that helps clients find their motivation for change. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives, while Person-Centered therapy centers on the individual's experience. Positive Psychology enhances well-being through strengths-based approaches. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-directed approach in counseling that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) offers a unique perspective within the realm of therapy. Finally, Response and Exposure Therapy (ERP) is crucial for treating anxiety disorders in mental health counseling.
