Why focus on OCD?
I focus on OCD because I’ve seen how completely it can take over—shaping your relationships, your sense of self, even the smallest daily routines. With specialized training in evidence-based approaches like I-CBT, ERP and ACT and I help people cut through the noise of obsessive thoughts and rituals so they can get their life back. My style is straightforward and practical—real tools, real strategies, no therapy jargon. Watching someone break out of OCD’s grip and start living again is one of the best parts of this work.
Common OCD Patterns Treated
-
Contamination & Checking – fears of germs, toxins, mistakes, or causing harm that lead to repeated cleaning or checking.
-
Harm & “Taboo” OCD – intrusive violent, sexual, religious, or moral thoughts, including postpartum and sexual orientation (SO-OCD) fears.
-
Existential, Pure-O & Mental Compulsions – obsessive doubts, false memories, magical thinking, or endless mental reviewing about relationships, reality, or life’s meaning.
-
Health, Body & Sensorimotor OCD – preoccupation with illness, physical appearance, or automatic body functions like breathing or swallowing.
-
Perfectionism & Symmetry OCD – distress over things not being “just right,” needing exactness or moral perfection.
No matter how your OCD shows up—whether hours of rituals, constant mental checking, or obsessive doubts that never feel resolved—we’ll target what’s driving it, not just the symptoms.

Daniel Frazer, LCSW
I began my career in 2006, supporting adults with special needs and later young adults facing homelessness and mental health challenges. I developed a deep appreciation for strength and resilience across abilities and these roles led me to pursue clinical licensure as a psychotherapist.
I specialize in men’s mental health, focusing on identity, relationships, and societal expectations. I also have extensive experience with OCD, neurodiversity, chronic pain, agoraphobia/panic disorder and family trauma.
Outside of practice, I research men’s mental health policy, how moving away from nature increases anxiety and traditional folk-medicine. I'm a Brooklyn native, a writer and naturalist with a passion for bird-watching, moths and native trees.
