How to choose an anxiety and OCD therapist

  1. Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
  2. Make sure anxiety and OCD therapy is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
  3. If OCD is the concern, ask whether they offer exposure and response prevention (ERP) and how they were trained in it.
  4. 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.
  5. Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
  6. After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.

Questions to ask an anxiety and OCD therapist

  • Are you accepting new clients, and how soon could I start?
  • Which license do you hold, and in which state or province?
  • How much of your work is anxiety and OCD therapy?
  • Which approach do you use for anxiety or OCD, and why?
  • What do you charge per session, and do you take my insurance or provide a superbill?
  • Do you offer online sessions?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • What do you keep confidential, and when would you have to share information?

Yes, if they are within 25 mi of the Rolling Meadows city center, our service radius for anxiety and OCD therapists. Each listing shows where the practice is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 15% of the RP Score, so a nearby practice gets a small edge.

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 Canada, ask whether the provider is registered in your province.
