Hello — I am Marlene Knerl and I look forward to meeting you. I moved to Nebraska from the west coast in the 1990s as a single mother with a desire to go to college and better our lives. I thought that Nebraska would allow for me to raise my two sons in a small town while simultaneously attending a University. First, I achieved a comprehensive degree in Psychology, then a MSed in Community Counseling.
Since becoming licensed as a counselor I have been working with individuals and families. Life can be difficult and helping people navigate the struggles is at times a challenge but nothing is more rewarding. I have always desired to help people and this profession has allowed for me to enact those intrinsic desires.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve what you desire.

I am here to help you meet your goals and help guide you along the way. I have experience in mood disorders, trauma, autism & learning differences, and sleep.

I bring a diverse clinical background that includes over 12 years of experience across medical, surgical, and behavioral health settings, as well as over 10 years of service in the United States Navy.

I love making connections to help make it easier to navigate through the difficulty of life
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is passionate about helping people feel more balanced, supported, and understood.I have experience working with adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, and I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and judgment free. My goal is to create a safe space where we can work together to find the right treatment plan for you. I offer medication management and supportive care tailored to your individual needs.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Omaha
Finding OCD therapists in Omaha starts with looking for training that matches obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and related stress. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some therapists use to support people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many people search for therapists who list this modality directly in their profiles. Since not all therapists who work with OCD have specific ERP training, reviewing specialties, approaches, and bio details can help you understand whether a therapist’s experience fits what you want to address.
Omaha has a mid-sized mental health care market, so you may find a mix of local office options and virtual appointments across the area. In-person OCD therapy near you may be a good fit if location, commute, and a consistent office setting matter to you. Virtual care can expand your options if you want more scheduling flexibility or prefer to search beyond nearby offices. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly they describe OCD care in their bio. A therapist who lists OCD as a focus area may differ from one who names ERP training or structured OCD experience, so that detail is worth checking before you book.
Therapy in Omaha can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual and in-person options in one place. You can browse OCD therapists in Omaha, review bios, confirm insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
