If you live in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Wilmington, or Fayetteville, finding a therapist who truly specializes in OCD is difficult. Many therapists list OCD among dozens of conditions they treat, but few have the dedicated training in ERP and I-CBT that OCD actually requires.
This matters because OCD doesn't respond well to general therapy. Standard talk therapy, reassurance, and even basic CBT without OCD-specific modifications often don't help — and can sometimes make OCD worse by reinforcing the cycle.
Telehealth changes this. You can work with a true OCD specialist from anywhere in North Carolina, without relocating, commuting hours, or settling for a generalist closer to home.
Telehealth OCD therapy works the same as in-person — structured, evidence-based sessions focused on real change. The only difference is you're in the comfort of your own space, which many clients find actually makes treatment more effective because they can practice skills in the environments where OCD shows up most.
We'll have a brief conversation about what you're experiencing, your goals, and whether my approach is a good fit.
We'll build a personalized plan using ERP, I-CBT, or other evidence-based approaches matched to your diagnosis and symptoms.
Through structured sessions and guided practice, you'll learn to respond differently to OCD — and start getting your life back.
All you need: a private space, reliable internet, and a device with camera and microphone. No special software required.
Whether you're in Greensboro, Wilmington, or anywhere in North Carolina, you receive the same specialized treatment I provide in my Charlotte office. Treatment is matched to your specific diagnosis and how your OCD cycle works.
The gold-standard treatment for OCD. ERP changes your behavioral response to intrusive thoughts by gradually reducing compulsions and avoidance. Via telehealth, we can do exposures in the actual environments where your OCD shows up — your home, your kitchen, your car — which often enhances the learning.
I-CBT targets the reasoning patterns that pull the mind into "what if" stories. It identifies inferential confusion — when attention shifts from reality into imagined scenarios. This is a specialized approach that most OCD therapists haven't been trained in.
Condition-specific approaches for health anxiety, emetophobia, BDD, and perfectionism.
Building psychological flexibility to stay present with discomfort while moving toward what matters.
Evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD through structured, gradual approach to difficult memories.
These are the most common concerns I treat. You might recognize yourself in one pattern or notice overlap across several — that's common, and something therapy accounts for.
Intrusive thoughts, mental loops, reassurance-seeking, or rituals that don't bring lasting relief.
Ongoing worry about symptoms or illness, even after reassurance or medical checks.
Fear of vomiting that shapes food choices, travel, or comfort around other people.
Strong fear of certain situations or triggers that leads to avoidance and a shrinking comfort zone.
Distressing focus on perceived flaws that's hard to turn off or ignore.
Pressure to get things "just right," paired with self-criticism, overthinking, or burnout.
Many of my clients come to me because they couldn't find a true OCD specialist in their area. Here's what they get with telehealth.

The Triangle has strong mental health resources — including some well-known OCD providers. But many people in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill still struggle to find the right fit. Waitlists can be long, group practice models aren't for everyone, and I-CBT alongside ERP is not widely available.
That's why a growing number of my clients are in the Triangle. They choose to work with me via telehealth because they want a solo practitioner relationship, access to both ERP and I-CBT, and the flexibility of sessions that fit around their schedule — whether they're a working professional in Raleigh, a graduate student at Duke, or a parent in Chapel Hill.
If you've been looking for the right OCD therapist and haven't found your fit locally, telehealth makes it possible to work with a specialist without being limited by geography.
Yes. Anna Schneiderman, LCSW, provides specialized OCD therapy via secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions to clients anywhere in North Carolina. Many clients prefer telehealth for OCD treatment because it allows them to practice exposures in their real-life environment, which can enhance treatment effectiveness.
Research consistently shows that telehealth ERP therapy is as effective as in-person treatment for OCD. In some cases, telehealth may even have advantages — you can practice exposures in the actual environments where OCD shows up (your home, kitchen, bathroom), which helps the learning transfer more directly to daily life.
Dedicated OCD specialists are uncommon in mid-size North Carolina cities. While there are general therapists who list OCD in these areas, most don't offer the specialized ERP or I-CBT treatment that OCD requires. Telehealth allows you to work with a true OCD specialist regardless of where you live in North Carolina.
The Triangle has some OCD providers, but waitlists can be long and most don't offer I-CBT alongside ERP. Many of Anna's Triangle clients chose her because they wanted a solo practitioner relationship, access to Inference-Based CBT (a specialized approach most providers don't offer), or simply hadn't found the right fit locally. With telehealth, geography isn't a barrier — you get the same specialized treatment as someone in Charlotte.
Anna provides the same evidence-based treatments via telehealth as in-person: ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), I-CBT (Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), specialized CBT for related conditions, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Treatment is selected based on your specific diagnosis and symptoms.
Yes. Anna works with teens ages 16 and older via telehealth across North Carolina. OCD often emerges during adolescence, and early access to a specialist — even when one isn't available locally — can make a significant difference in outcomes.
All you need is a private space where you can speak freely, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone — phone, tablet, or computer all work. Anna uses a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. No special software or downloads are required.
You don't have to keep searching for the right therapist in your area. Whether you're in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Wilmington, Fayetteville, or anywhere else in North Carolina, specialized OCD treatment is one video call away.
You don't need a diagnosis or the right words to reach out.
