Lili Daoud LCSW
Psychotherapist
My practice is about 90 % for OCD and related disorders. I have treated about 500 children, teens and adults. Many of them were undiagnosed or misdiagnosed when first seen by me. I trained with Dr Mansueto in BFRB’s and treat those clients as well.
Many disorders often present together. Eating disorders, OCD and ADHD often present in some combination. My treatment structure would be to differentiate the various aspects of the disorders. I use EX/RP for the OCD, address the ADHD component. I use cogniitve restructuring in the context of all disorders, as the ancillary irrational thoughts may often be impacting the client’s life in a negative way. Avoidance often maintains and drives anxiety so addressing avoidance is an important component of all disorders.
I have been treating OCD and spectrum disorders with EX/RP and cognitive restructuring for over 20 years. I traing wirh DR Mansueto at jhis clinic for BFRBs.I have attended many follow up conventions, including the MAster Clinician 4 day intensive in Puerto Rico in 2020. I am also Supervisor/Training Faculty at the Albert Ellis Institute in NY
I have completed the cultural competency training required and have worked successfully with many cultures.
