Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about teletherapy or starting treatment at OCD Spectrum? We have answered the most common ones below.
What are the benefits of teletherapy?
Teletherapy removes many of the common barriers to starting treatment. You can meet with your therapist from anywhere in Pennsylvania without commuting, taking time off work, or arranging childcare. For OCD treatment specifically, there is an added clinical benefit: exposure work can be done in the actual environments where OCD shows up most, whether that is your home, your car, or your workplace. Many clients find this makes treatment feel more relevant and effective.
What are some potential drawbacks of teletherapy?
Teletherapy works well for most people, but it is not the right fit for everyone. A stable internet connection and a private space are required for sessions to be productive. Some clients find it harder to feel connected through a screen, and certain types of in-person work may be more difficult to replicate virtually. If you are unsure whether teletherapy is right for you, we are happy to talk it through before your first appointment.
Is teletherapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For OCD and anxiety disorders, research supports teletherapy as equally effective as in-person treatment. The therapeutic approaches we use, including ERP, CBT, and I-CBT, translate well to a virtual format. The most important factor in treatment outcomes is the quality of the therapeutic relationship and the consistency of your participation, not the location.
What do I need to prepare for a teletherapy session?
You will need a device with a camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a private space where you feel comfortable speaking freely. Please be somewhere you will not be interrupted for the duration of the session. We ask that you dress as you would for an in-person appointment and treat the session with the same level of focus and engagement you would bring to an office visit.
What should I expect in a teletherapy session?
Each session begins with a brief check-in and a review of any practice exercises from the previous week. From there, your therapist will work with you on specific skills relevant to your treatment, such as exposure work, cognitive restructuring, or reviewing thought records. Sessions are structured and goal-directed, with clear objectives for each appointment. Between sessions, you will be given exercises to practice on your own to reinforce your progress.
