Hi, I'm Lukas Snear, LPC.

I started my clinical career as a Registered Behavior Technician working with kids with autism, learning the science of behavior from the ground up. After earning my master's in professional counseling from Amberton University, I spent more than three years at Eating Recovery Center as a program and primary therapist treating adults and adolescents with severe eating disorders, many of whom also had co-occurring OCD. I became the program's OCD specialist there, which is where ERP became the foundation of my clinical work.

​

Since then I've pursued specialized training rather than general practice, including the IOCDF's Behavioral Training Institute (BTTI) and NOCD Academy, and I've provided ERP-based telehealth treatment through NOCD. I founded Azimuth to take that further: a private practice built to make expert OCD care accessible and covered by insurance, so cost doesn't stand between someone and the treatment that actually works.

​

I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Military Institute, where I learned that meaningful goals require sustained effort. That lesson shows up constantly in the work of ERP.
