About Bright Beginnings Counseling Services
About Me
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), and Brainspotting. 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
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.
If your mind feels stuck in loops, you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, or anxiety is running your life—you’re not alone, and therapy can help. Reach out for a free consultation
