Ask before you book
“Do you use exposure and response prevention, and where were you trained in it?” and “How many of your current clients have OCD?” A real specialist answers clearly and specifically.
Who are the best telehealth OCD therapists in Connecticut?
Based on the OLEE Index, the highest-scoring OCD specialists in Connecticut who offer telehealth are Rachel Frank (75/100), Julie Cipes (74/100) and Elana Raphael-Tomkins (72/100).
Does ERP for OCD work over telehealth?
Yes. Research on video-delivered ERP shows outcomes similar to in-person treatment for most people, and therapists can guide exposures in your real environment, like your home, car or workplace.
Can I see a telehealth OCD therapist from another state while I'm in Connecticut?
Usually only if they are licensed in Connecticut or participate in an interstate licensing compact that covers it. Therapists generally need to be licensed where you are physically located during the session. Every provider on this page practices in Connecticut.
What should I look for in an OCD therapist?
Look for someone who specifically uses exposure and response prevention (ERP) and for whom OCD is a large part of their caseload. Specialized training such as the IOCDF Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) is a strong signal. Ask how many of their current clients have OCD.
OLEE scores measure publicly verifiable signals of OCD expertise, not treatment outcomes. Always confirm licensure, availability and fit directly with a provider. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US).
