Giovonni Hinton, LCSW

I’m Giovonni, an OCD therapist specializing in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). 75% of my caseload is folx living with OCD and related disorders, and I have treated 25+ individuals with OCD. I offer individual ERP therapy for adults via tele health/in-person in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Together, we face what scares you, at a pace that honors you, so fear stops making your decisions. My mission is to help you restore your faith, have hope for the future, and elevate. Your story doesn’t end in shackles and chains. It begins with hope and freedom.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder- I utilize brief solution focused therapeutic modality to treat that.

I completed specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD through The CBT School. I have been treating OCD for 6 months and Generalized anxiety disorder for over 6. I am a licensed clinical social worker and continue to deepen my skills through ongoing workshops, consultation, and continuing education focused on OCD and OCD spectrum disorders. My approach combines evidence-based ERP with compassion and cultural humility, so every client feels seen, safe, and empowered to face their fears and reclaim their freedom.

As a multicultural lesbian therapist, I bring lived experience to my work with clients whose identities are often overlooked in mental health care. Each year, I attend diversity, equity, and inclusion training to keep growing in cultural humility and responsiveness. I understand how culture, faith, family, sexuality, and identity can shape the way OCD shows up and how people seek help. I welcome BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and multicultural clients, and I create a space where you don’t have to leave any part of yourself at the door.
