Online Therapy

Online psychotherapy or teletherapy is an effective and convenient option for treatment. Studies show that online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is just as effective as traditional face-to-face therapy.

For online sessions I use a fully encrypted HIPAA-compliant audio/video platform that is designed for health professionals. Teletherapy has become more common for clients who prefer meeting in the privacy of their home, want to work with a therapist outside their city, cannot leave their home due to a psychological or physical condition or it simply works best for their busy schedule.

Does online therapy work for OCD?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help with OCD. The research is encouraging. In a study of more than 3,500 adults, exposure and response prevention (ERP) delivered by video led to significant improvement in OCD symptoms, with results similar to those seen in studies of in-person therapy. People saw improvement whether their symptoms were mild, moderate, or severe.

For many people, online ERP also means getting specialized care without a long drive, a long waitlist, or leaving the comfort of home.

Intensive OCD Therapy

For clients who want to move faster, I offer Intensive OCD Therapy. This may include double sessions during the week or scheduled weekend sessions to build momentum and accelerate progress. This is useful for clients who are from areas where OCD treatment is limited, for those who have time limitations and cannot commit to 4 to 6 months of weekly sessions, and for students who are on break from school.

Clients outside the U.S.: I also work with some clients internationally. Please ask during your consultation.
