Kara Keicher, LCSW-C, LICSW, LMT

My current clinical practice is dedicated to helping adults living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) improve their quality of life and reach self-identified goals using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and adjunctive modalities that support ERP practice. I work with adults across Maryland, DC, and Virginia via teletherapy and maintain a small, specialized caseload to support high‑quality, sustainable care.

I have been a full time clinical social worker since graduating from the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Social Work in 2018. I worked in community mental health for 5 years prior to specializing in the treatment of OCD. In 2024 I completed 12 weeks of intensive training in ERP and over 525 clinical hours treating individuals living with OCD and co-occurring conditions. I am board approved to provide clinical supervision to social workers seeking clinical licensure in the State of Maryland. I am also a licensed massage therapist with over 20 years experience.

I attended the September 2026 IOCDF 5-day virtual BTTI (anticipated completion in December 2026).
