Anxiety, OCD, and overthinking therapy for children, teens, and adults

Katherine Lutz, LCSW, therapist in Reston, VA specializing in anxiety, OCD, and play therapy for children and teens

I help people who feel stuck in anxiety, overthinking, or OCD patterns—like constant second-guessing, worry, or feeling unable to move forward.

Therapy focuses on building practical skills and confidence to handle anxiety more effectively and create meaningful change. With children, I use play therapy to make this process engaging and developmentally appropriate. I’m especially effective with teens who may feel hesitant or unsure about therapy.

Get Started

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are.

Support for teens who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down—including those who may be hesitant or resistant to therapy. Focused on building trust, confidence, and real-world coping skills.

Adults

Therapy for anxiety, OCD, and overthinking, along with depression, relationship challenges, and other life stressors. Focused on helping you build practical skills and respond to challenges with more confidence and flexibility.
