Welcome to CBT Carolina. My name is Dr. Anna Lock; I am a clinical psychologist and Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I provide evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to residents of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and surrounding areas in NC.
I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I also provide evidence-based treatment for insomnia and for psychological factors related to physical health conditions (e.g., chronic pain, chronic illness, infertility and cancer survivorship). Using well-researched, highly-effective methods, I can help you meet your therapy goals. While I ground my practice in evidence-based treatments, I am integrative at heart and include other modalities including relational, interpersonal and psychodynamic therapies to create the ideal therapeutic approach for you.
I believe in racial justice and respect for all; as a White woman, I strive to consistently acknowledge and reduce harm. My style is warm, collaborative, empathic and authentic. I am committed to creating an environment that is unconditionally accepting, non-judgmental and maybe even a little bit fun!
Contact me today to find out how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can help you, NC!
