Avi Anderson, LMSW CSWi

I offer dedicated services for OCD and related disorders, drawing on years of experience treating contamination fears, intrusive thoughts, ROCD, POCD, harm OCD, and scrupulosity. My work centers on ERP with integration of ACT and I-CBT. Clients receive individualized, evidence-based care tailored to their symptoms, goals, and cultural background.

When OCD appears with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship conflict, I use an integrated approach. Individual ERP is paired with couples sessions that focus on communication, emotional closeness, and reducing reassurance patterns. Partners learn supportive, non-enabling responses while the client receives targeted exposure work. This helps the relationship heal alongside the symptoms.

I specialize in anxiety and OCD treatment with advanced training in ERP, ACT, and I-CBT. I have completed intensive post-graduate workshops, ongoing supervision with senior clinicians affiliated with major OCD institutes, and years of direct clinical experience treating OCD, ROCD, POCD, harm OCD, scrupulosity, and panic-related conditions. My practice integrates evidence-based ERP with relational and culturally informed approaches to help clients face uncertainty, reduce compulsions, and reclaim their lives.

I work extensively with multicultural and multilingual populations across Las Vegas, including Jewish, Israeli, Persian, Latino, African American, and immigrant communities. My practice serves diverse couples, first-generation professionals, and clients navigating cross-cultural identity, acculturation stress, and intergenerational dynamics. I integrate culturally informed CBT, IFS, and EFT to respect each client’s background while supporting growth, resilience, and emotional wellness.
