Alberto Cabrera, PhD, LCSW

This practice is dedicated almost entirely to treating OCD and related conditions, with approximately 100% of the caseload consisting of individuals with OCD. Dr. Cabrera provides specialized, individualized telehealth sessions using evidence-based treatments including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Throughout his clinical career, he has treated numerous individuals across all OCD subtypes, including contamination, harm, scrupulosity, sexual orientation, relationship, and «just right» presentations. Dr. Cabrera’s practice emphasizes accessible, expert care that helps clients reclaim their lives from OCD through compassionate, research-informed treatment.

Dr. Alberto Cabrera integrates evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs when treating co-occurring anxiety disorders alongside OCD. Treatment primarily focuses on OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), while addressing comorbid anxiety through cognitive-behavioral interventions and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Cabrera assesses how anxiety symptoms interact with OCD and develops comprehensive treatment plans that target both conditions without reinforcing compulsions or safety behaviors. Sessions maintain a strong ERP foundation while incorporating anxiety management strategies that support overall functioning and quality of life.

Dr. Cabrera is a graduate of the International OCD Foundation’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), completing intensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in 2023. With years of clinical experience treating OCD across diverse populations and settings, he has developed expertise in all OCD subtypes. His background includes clinical leadership roles in psychiatric hospitals, where he trained and supervised other therapists in evidence-based practices. Additionally, Dr. Cabrera has conducted and published research on OCD stigma and treatment access, particularly in underserved communities, which directly informs his clinical approach and commitment to equity in OCD care.

As a licensed therapist, Dr. Cabrera brings extensive cultural competency to his OCD treatment practice. Fluent in English and Spanish, he provides bilingual services to diverse communities. His doctoral research focused on mental health stigma and treatment access in Latino populations, including OCD-specific stigma across different cultural contexts. With clinical experience serving multicultural populations in integrated medical and psychiatric settings, he understands how cultural factors influence OCD presentation, help-seeking behaviors, and treatment engagement. He integrates cultural humility and responsiveness into evidence-based care, ensuring treatment honors each client’s unique cultural identity and values.
