Karan Lamb, PsyD

I provide in‑person and telehealth services throughout Florida, offering evidence‑based treatment for OCD and related disorders, PANDAS/PANS, anxiety disorders, trichotillomania, skin‑picking/excoriation, phobias, and hoarding. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Inference-based CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal (HR), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ensuring care that is structured, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs.

I work with clients with the overlap of PANDAS/PANS, BRFBs, tics, ADHD and/or OCD and change the treatment structure by considering the length of therapy sessions, frequency of sessions, and using supportive technology to support the usage of skill development. I also work with autistic individuals in collaborative relationship to manage heightened anxieties, sensory sensitivities, and/or OCD. We work to develop treatment plan together, and flexibly to support goals.

I am a licensed psychologist and have worked with children, teens and adults with anxieties, OCD, and BFRBs for the past 20 years. I was a clinical interviewer at the Johns Hopkins OCD Family Study, where I developed strong diagnostic and assessment skills. I also received additional training from the University of Pennsylvania Master Clinician Training Institute in 2008 and 2010. I am trained with CBT with ERP, Inference-based CBT (consultation with Dr. Fred Aardema), and ACT. I am a current member of the IOCDF, ADAA, and Florida Psychological Association, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Florida.

I have extensive experience providing culturally responsive care to children, adolescents, and families across diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. My clinical work spans school, community, and behavioral health settings, with a strong focus on supporting youth in economically marginalized communities. As a psychologist and a part-time Executive Director of Resilience Across Borders, I collaborate to deliver evidence‑based resilience programs. My practice includes first‑generation and globally diverse families, and my teaching and supervision emphasize cultural humility, contextual awareness, and accessible, strengths‑based interventions that honor each client’s lived experience.
