I provide evidence-based care for OCD and related conditions.
Bethany Bosier, MS, CHMC, MHC, LPC, LIAC, LCDC, CEDS, RPT-S, CCTP, NCC, is a licensed mental health therapist providing telehealth services in Arizona, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Oklahoma, where she focused on developmental psychology and participated in related research. She received her master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas, specializing in work with children and adolescents. Bethany brings more than eight years of postgraduate experience across residential, intensive outpatient, school-based, in-home, and private practice settings. She is also an Arizona Approved Clinical Supervisor and a Texas LPC Supervisor.
As a Certified Child-Centered Play Therapist and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, Bethany has extensive experience supporting children and their families. Her work incorporates Child-Centered Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention, and family systems approaches. She has also completed training in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) and is currently working toward becoming a Certified SPACE Provider.
Bethany believes caregiver involvement is an essential part of treatment because it promotes understanding, healing, and lasting change throughout the family system. Her understanding of OCD is informed by both her clinical experience and her personal perspective as someone with family members who have OCD. This has given her additional insight into how OCD can affect loved ones and the broader family system. Recognizing how overwhelming it can be to support a child or loved one with anxiety or OCD, she provides families with practical tools and thorough psychoeducation.
As a Licensed Independent Addictions Counselor in Arizona and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas, Bethany understands the importance of addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns together. She also specializes in trauma treatment and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional. She strives to help individuals heal from traumatic experiences and reclaim a sense of safety, agency, and personal power.
As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, Bethany has experience treating eating disorders and disordered eating. She is particularly passionate about supporting individuals with co-occurring OCD and eating disorders, as the interaction between these conditions can create significant barriers to living a full and meaningful life. She values collaboration with other members of the treatment team to provide coordinated, comprehensive care.
Bethany’s therapeutic approach draws from several evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In treating OCD, she offers both Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). I-CBT is an exposure-free approach that helps clients address the reasoning processes underlying obsessional doubts and rebuild trust in themselves.
Bethany prioritizes developing a meaningful therapeutic relationship and brings authenticity, honesty, warmth, and humor to her work. She strives to create a space where clients feel supported and accepted as they face difficult fears, reduce compulsive behaviors, and move toward healing, growth, and self-compassion.
Originally from Northwest Houston, Bethany now lives in Texas with her husband and three cats while continuing her work with CalmOCD as a virtual provider. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, traveling, reading, cooking, and gardening.
At CalmOCD we treat individuals ages 5 and up with obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, eating disorders, panic disorder, agoraphobia, phobias, misophonia, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and co-occurring depression. CalmOCD is proud to be a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all individuals, including our LGBTQIA+ community.
