Professional statement

Marta Bringas, LPCC, is a California-licensed therapist who works with adults experiencing OCD and anxiety. She often works with clients dealing with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, rumination, and perfectionism, as well as high-functioning individuals managing performance pressure and chronic overthinking.

Her approach is structured and practical, with a strong focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. She also integrates CBT and ACT to help clients relate to anxiety differently and build skills they can actually use in their day-to-day lives. The work tends to be active and goal-oriented, both in and outside of sessions.

Marta has over 20 years of clinical experience working with anxiety-related concerns and has developed a strong focus on OCD and related patterns. She takes a collaborative approach and, when helpful, coordinates with prescribing providers to support continuity of care.

She provides telehealth sessions across California and works with both private-pay and insurance clients. Her style tends to be a good fit for people looking for a structured, straightforward approach to treatment.


Message to clients

Hi,

If you’re here, chances are something has been feeling stuck, whether that’s intrusive thoughts that won’t let go, patterns you can’t seem to break, or anxiety that’s starting to take up more space than you’d like. Most of the people I work with are used to functioning at a high level, but internally feel caught in cycles of overthinking, rumination, or perfectionism.

My approach is structured and collaborative. We won’t just talk about what’s happening, we’ll work on changing how you respond to it. That often includes practical tools and exercises you can use between sessions, especially if we’re working with OCD or anxiety patterns. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety, but to help you relate to it differently so it has less control over your day-to-day life.

We’ll start with a brief consultation to see if this feels like a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we’ll take time to understand what’s been going on and set clear goals so the work stays focused and meaningful. Therapy doesn’t have to be open-ended. We’ll check in along the way to make sure it’s actually helping.

If this sounds like the kind of approach you’re looking for, feel free to reach out.
