Kelsey Irving, LPC, LCMHC

About 80% of Kelsey’s caseload is made up of clients who have OCD. She has helped well over 100 clients with OCD and has extensive experience treating a variety of OCD themes.
When not treating those with obsessive compulsive related disorders, Kelsey also treats health care professionals for the specific challenges they face in the field.

I treat clients with co-occurring OCD, ADHD, ASD, substance use disorders, and tic disorders. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT). Treatment is structured yet flexible, beginning with assessment and values exploration, followed by targeted skill-building and behavioral interventions. I emphasize reducing avoidance, increasing psychological flexibility, and building practical coping strategies. Sessions are collaborative, goal-oriented, and tailored to each client’s neurodevelopmental profile and co-occurring needs, supporting meaningful, sustainable change across settings.

Kelsey brings many years of experience helping individuals navigate OCD, perfectionism, anxiety, and related challenges. She fosters a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can openly share—there’s nothing she hasn’t heard, and no need to feel self-conscious about seeking help. Her goal is to help clients build effective skills to manage anxiety and regain freedom and independence.

Before starting her own practice, Kelsey trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at Rogers Behavioral Health, a nationally recognized leader in OCD and anxiety treatment, under expert clinical supervision.

Kelsey has extensive training in culturally responsive care, with a strong foundation in working with diverse and multicultural populations. This focus was central to her graduate education at Fordham University in New York City, where her Master’s program emphasized cultural humility, identity-informed treatment, and evidence-based approaches for serving clients across varied backgrounds. She integrates this training into her clinical work, tailoring treatment to each individual’s cultural context, values, and lived experience to provide thoughtful, inclusive, and effective care.
