Psychology Practice – Worcester Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Worcester Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy is directed by Dr. Jennifer Lish, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of anxiety-related presentations. The practice specializes exclusively in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and delivers all services through virtual psychotherapy sessions, making care available to clients in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
Dr. Lish’s areas of clinical expertise include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, specific phobias, selective mutism, agoraphobia, panic disorder, and school refusal. She works with both children and adults, with a particular concentration on pediatric anxiety and OCD presentations. Exposure therapy is a core treatment modality used throughout the practice. Dr. Lish also offers the SPACE approach, which stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions, a structured parent-focused framework designed to help parents modify their own behavioral responses to a child’s anxiety as a clinical lever for gradually reducing the child’s avoidance and distress over time.
The practice’s therapeutic style is described as active and directive, oriented toward rapid relief from suffering and improved day-to-day functioning rather than open-ended or unstructured exploratory work. All sessions are conducted online, making the practice accessible to residents across the four states it serves without requiring in-person attendance at any point in treatment.
Dr. Lish holds membership in the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) and is listed as a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies, a credential that reflects advanced training and a peer-reviewed demonstration of competency in CBT methods. The practice is also verified through Psychology Everywhere. No information regarding insurance acceptance, self-pay rates, or year of establishment is provided on the site’s homepage.
