What percentage of your caseload is OCD?
Look for: Above 50% is a good sign. Below 20% and they’re a generalist, not a specialist.
Do you use ERP as your primary treatment for OCD?
Look for: They should say yes clearly. CBT alone is not enough for OCD.
Have you treated my specific subtype before?
Look for: Experience with your subtype matters more than general OCD experience.
What does a typical session look like?
Look for: Good answer: exposure exercises, homework between sessions. Red flag: mostly talking about feelings.
