Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is one approach a qualified mental health professional may consider as part of OCD care. ERP involves gradually facing situations that trigger obsessions while practicing not engaging in compulsions; a qualified mental health professional can help determine whether this approach is appropriate. Some providers also incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or other therapeutic methods, depending on their training and your needs. A psychiatrist can provide medication management if that's part of your care plan. On Headway, you can look for providers in Cincinnati who list OCD as a specialty and read their bios to learn more about their therapeutic approach.

Look for a licensed therapist — such as an LPCC, LISW, or psychologist — who has specific training and experience with OCD.

On Headway, each provider's bio includes details about their specialties, approach, and background.
