Jenna Schloss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Illinois. She treats mainly clients suffering from OCD, but also tackles generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and other related illnesses. Her  approach to treating said disorders cover many grounds as she uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptant and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Although she may sound like your textbook psychotherapist, she believes that laughter is an essential part of life and mental health. This translates to how she tailor-makes her approach to each individual and their own personal goal. If you book a session with Jenna, don't forget to give her executive assistant, Maddie, a belly-rub (she's a dog). 

In this episode we talk about: 

◾️ Anxiety and white knuckling  ◾️ Acceptance in therapy vs. acceptance in day-to-day life ◾️ The impact of the "pause" after acknowledging the presence of OCD
