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.

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