Lorin Banks, LCSW

I provide compassionate, collaborative therapy for individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety-related concerns. My approach emphasizes creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand their symptoms, build confidence in navigating distress, and work toward meaningful personal goals. I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty and reduce the impact of anxiety and OCD on daily life. Treatment is individualized to each client’s needs, values, and goals.

I have pursued ongoing clinical education and professional development, including specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to strengthen my knowledge of evidence-based approaches to OCD and anxiety treatment. I am committed to continuing to grow my clinical knowledge and skills to provide thoughtful, individualized care tailored to each client’s needs. My goal is to help clients feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate their challenges and work toward meaningful change.

I have experience working with culturally diverse communities and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I strive to provide culturally responsive, inclusive, and affirming care that honors each person’s unique identity, lived experiences, values, and background. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, cultural humility, and a commitment to understanding how culture, family, community, and identity shape mental health. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel seen, heard, respected, and supported. I value ongoing learning and self-reflection to ensure my care remains sensitive to each individual’s needs and experiences.
