- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.

- If OCD is the concern, ask whether they offer exposure and response prevention (ERP) and how they were trained in it.

- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.
