“Adults ages 18 and older seeking psychiatric evaluation and medication management services.”
“I work with those who are looking to relieve the unrelenting barrage of stress, worry, anger, and sadness. I specialize in helping people living with anxiety disorders (anxiety, panic, phobias, OCD) and neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, PTSD) but I work with wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, relationship issues, addiction, life transitions, and grief. As a combat veteran, military spouse, and Purple Heart recipient, I understand how busy life can get with daily stress becoming an ever-increasing burden. It might seem like others don't get you, leaving you feeling alone, angry, trapped, or shamed. If you feel worn out, mentally drained, on edge, or like your thoughts do not bring you peace, I can help.”
“My clients are dedicated athletes who look like they have it all together, while privately struggling with an eating disorder, RED-S, or OCD. They're obsessing over food or their body, stuck in rigid patterns and running on empty, even though quitting isn't an option they'll consider. As a life-long athlete and someone in recovery myself, I understand the fear that getting better might mean losing your edge or your place on the team. It doesn't. My clients don't just want recovery, they want to reclaim their love for their sport, with real tools for pressure and perfectionism along the way.”
“Most commonly I work with women, LGBTQ+ folks, BIPOC clients, Latinx, immigrants and first generation Americans, veterans, neurodivergent individuals, teens, college students, couples, and high-achieving professionals. My clients are often struggling with not feeling good enough about themselves and comparing themselves to others. They might struggle with body image, feel frustrated with their own patterns of behavior, or experience ongoing difficulties in their relationships. They often find themselves stuck in the same cycles. They might have insight but can’t seem to change their behavior.”

“I work with adults 18 and older who are managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, chronic insomnia, and chronic pain. I have particular experience supporting military veterans, active-duty service members, and individuals who have experienced combat-related or sexual trauma.

“I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I also help clients address concerns related to self-esteem, grief, family conflict, OCD, and stress.”
“I work with creative, introspective, and deeply-feeling adults & teens ages 16+. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, body image concerns, or compulsive behaviors. They are often high-achieving or highly sensitive, and may feel overwhelmed by expectations, either from themselves or others. I particularly enjoy working with helping professionals, artists, and other creatives who are open to expressing their inner worlds in order to better understand themselves, feel more emotionally grounded, improve their relationships, and live in greater alignment with their values.”
“I work with individuals navigating a range of mental health concerns, with a primary focus on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and trauma-related conditions. Many of my clients experience intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, heightened anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and the lingering effects of past traumatic experiences. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing (EMDR) to support clients in reducing symptom severity, increasing distress tolerance, and improving overall functioning. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward more stable, values-driven lives.”
“I try not to limit who I work with, but over time it has become clear I am particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in their patterns. That might be a habit of ruminating on the past or anxious worry about the future for example. Sometimes stuck patterns are interpersonal, like repeating the same arguments with a loved one or falling into what feels like the same relationship over and over again. Other times stuck patterns relates to work, school, or struggles with every-day tasks and chores. One more pattern I often work with is internal: habitually feeling the same distressing feeling. People in these situations have generally tried a lot and are confused about what's not working, frustrated or even hopeless about the prospect of change.”
Finding support for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Finding support for obsessive-compulsive disorder often means looking for the right therapy approach, not just the nearest opening. This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), so you can compare options beyond the therapists closest to your zip code. Because telehealth depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during each session, start by selecting the state or states where you expect to be for appointments. Then narrow your results with filters like service type, therapy modality, language, age group, and insurance to find providers who fit your needs.
Before you book
- Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
- Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
- Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
How do I use this page to find an online provider for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Start by choosing the state where you will be during sessions, then use filters for service type, age group, insurance, language, and therapy modality. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, it can help to look for providers who offer an OCD-focused modality such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Open a few profiles, review their approach, and shortlist the best fits.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask whether they regularly treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, what therapy methods they use, whether they offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) or a different modality, how progress is measured, and what between-session practice may look like. It is also a good idea to ask about scheduling, session length, cancellation policies, and cost.
Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
No. An online therapist does not usually need to live in your state, but they generally need to be licensed in the state where you are physically located during the appointment. If you may travel, move, or split time between states, ask about that before booking. Rules and provider policies can vary, so it may help to look for a therapist licensed in multiple states.
Does insurance cover online therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and how does payment usually work?
Insurance coverage for online therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder varies by plan, provider, and where you are located. Some providers are in network, while others are private pay and can give you a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement. Before your first session, ask about copays, deductibles, self-pay rates, late cancellation fees, and whether intake appointments or medication visits are billed differently. That can make comparing providers much easier.
What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?
Most online therapy sessions work best in a private place with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many appointments happen by video, but some providers also use phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email depending on the service. Check ahead about privacy expectations and whether the provider has rules about where sessions can take place.
When is online therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder not the right choice?
Online therapy may not be the best fit if you are in immediate danger, need urgent help, need a higher level of care, or do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. Some people may also need in-person assessment or more intensive support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
Can I find medication management providers here, and how is medication management different from online therapy?
Yes. Some providers on this page offer medication management, which focuses on evaluation, prescribing when appropriate, refills, and side effect follow-up. Online therapy is different because it focuses on working with thoughts and emotions, coping skills, and behavior change. Some clinicians offer both, while others provide only one service. If you need a controlled substance prescription, check directly with the provider first, because telehealth prescribing rules and provider policies can vary.
Do I need a therapist trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD?
It can be very helpful to choose someone with clear experience treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially if they use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) regularly. Not every therapist is experienced in treating OCD. Ask how they handle intrusive thoughts, rituals or compulsions, avoidance, and family involvement, and how they build practice between sessions. If you are looking for care for a younger person, child or teen therapy (https://therapyexpanded.com/services-provided/child-or-teen-therapy/) can help you narrow the search.
Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
