Karla Pineda

Karla Pineda, a Licensed Professional Counselor, understands the overwhelming struggle that many face while navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders. She recognizes the experience of being trapped in a mind that constantly races, overwhelmed by 'what if' scenarios that seem impossible to escape. Through her empathetic approach, Karla addresses the relentless racing thoughts that can leave individuals feeling paralyzed by fear and distress, resulting in a day-to-day battle that saps both mental and physical strength. Many find themselves living in a continuous state of anxiety, leading to isolation where plans are canceled, work suffers, and avoidance of places that trigger panic attacks becomes the norm. This lonely path can hinder relationships and rob individuals of joy in activities they once cherished. Karla’s practice is firmly rooted in evidence-based techniques, particularly in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), aimed at helping clients break free from the cycles of rumination, compulsions, and avoidance. With her guidance, individuals can work towards reclaiming a fulfilling life, pursuing passions with confidence, and finding a sense of grounding in their everyday experiences.
