Start by identifying your goals for therapy and the type of support you're looking for — whether that's help managing intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, or something else.

Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're a good fit before committing.

What type of therapy is recommended for OCD?

Different therapeutic approaches may be used to support people with OCD, and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what may be appropriate. Some therapy approaches involve working gradually on difficult thoughts, feelings, or situations with guidance from a qualified mental health professional. Some providers may use a combination of therapeutic methods depending on an individual's needs. When searching for a provider, consider someone who has experience supporting people with OCD and can discuss appropriate treatment options.

Should I see a therapist or psychiatrist for OCD?

It depends on the type of care you're looking for. A therapist (such as a licensed mental health counselor or psychologist) can provide talk therapy and discuss different therapeutic approaches. A psychiatrist can discuss treatment options and, when appropriate, provide ongoing medical support. Some people work with both a therapist and a psychiatrist at the same time. On Headway, you can browse both therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in OCD and accept your insurance.
