Any questions?

Can OCD be treated online?
Yes, online treatment is an effective way to treat OCD. Online therapists can offer evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, support, and ongoing guidance, and online psychiatric providers write prescriptions and offer medication management to help manage symptoms of OCD. They can also provide education about the disorder.
How is OCD diagnosed?
A trained mental health professional can diagnose OCD by reviewing past and present symptoms. Symptoms of OCD can include:
- persistent intrusive thoughts or visuals
- rituals or compulsions that interfere with daily life
- feeling anxious or upset when attempting to stop these behaviors
What can I expect from OCD treatment?
Treatment for OCD may include therapy, medication, and mindfulness meditation techniques.
What types of therapies are used to treat OCD?
Common approaches to treat OCD include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure response prevention (ERP), which help alter thought patterns and reduce compulsive behaviors. CBT alters unwanted thought patterns, and ERP involves gradual exposure to feared stimuli to help reduce or end compulsive behavior.
Can an online psychiatrist prescribe OCD medication?
Yes, online psychiatrists may prescribe non-stimulant, non-sedative medications for OCD based on clinical assessment. Talkspace does not prescribe controlled substances.
Can OCD be treated without medication?
Yes, non-medicinal approaches such as CBT, ERP, and mindfulness meditation can help treat OCD symptoms effectively.
Is treatment for OCD covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies cover costs associated with treatments related to OCD. However, the exact details of coverage can significantly vary, depending on plan coverage specifics. It’s always best to double-check with your provider before seeking treatment.
Talkspace online therapy and psychiatry plans take insurance. We currently accept insurance from Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, Optum, and more.
