How to choose an anxiety and OCD therapist
- Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
- Make sure anxiety and OCD therapy is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
- If OCD is the concern, ask whether they offer exposure and response prevention (ERP) and how they were trained in it.
- Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
- Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
- After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

Each anxiety and OCD therapist gets a 0–100 RP Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (25%), specialty focus (25%), proximity (15%) and availability (10%).

Can I see an anxiety and OCD therapist online?
Often, yes. Licensing generally follows where you are during the session, so the provider needs to be licensed or authorized there. In the US, psychologists in PSYPACT member states can offer telepsychology to clients in other member states; counselors and social workers have their own rules. In Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.
What if I need help right now?
