Daniel Edwards, LCSW, is a licensed mental health therapist with 17 years of clinical experience specializing in OCD treatment (ERP), anxiety therapy, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.
He is a Certified Anxiety Therapist, a Certified Grief Counselor, and holds an Expert Certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and PTSD.

Before entering private practice, Daniel spent seven years at the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Mental Health Supervisor, where he provided therapy for veterans facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity loss while also leading and training multidisciplinary clinical teams.

Daniel’s primary clinical focus is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold-standard treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. He works with clients who struggle with contamination OCD, harm OCD, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, checking behaviors, scrupulosity, relationship OCD (ROCD), and somatic fears.
He is also the author of the forthcoming book My Anxiety Journal, a guided tool for managing worry, overwhelm, and avoidance.

In addition to OCD therapy, Daniel provides evidence-based treatment for generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and burnout. He integrates ERP, CBT, DBT skills, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches to help clients build resilience and create meaningful change.

Daniel provides therapy to clients in Clarendon Hills, Hinsdale, Downers Grove, Westmont, Elmhurst, Oak Brook, and surrounding Illinois communities. Virtual therapy sessions are also available for clients throughout the state of Illinois.
