If you live in Connecticut and are struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), specialized care from a true OCD expert is now available via telehealth. Dr. Henry Srednicki, a nationally recognized OCD specialist based in neighboring New York and New Jersey, offers comprehensive telehealth OCD therapy to Connecticut residents — from Stamford and Greenwich to Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, and beyond.
Connecticut is geographically small but densely populated, and its proximity to New York City means many residents are accustomed to accessing best-in-class services. Yet even in Connecticut, finding a therapist with genuine, specialized expertise in OCD treatment is harder than it should be. Many therapists list OCD among their areas of practice, but few have trained intensively in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the only evidence-based treatment shown to produce lasting OCD recovery.
Southwestern Connecticut — particularly Fairfield County — is one of the wealthiest and most high-achieving regions in the United States. The pressure-cooker environment of Stamford, Greenwich, and the broader New York commuter belt creates fertile ground for OCD subtypes driven by perfectionism, fear of failure, and excessive responsibility. Many residents in this area have tried therapy before but found it didn't address their OCD specifically.
Dr. Srednicki works with adults, teens, and children across all Connecticut counties. Whether you're a professional commuting to New York, a student at Yale, UConn, Wesleyan, or Trinity College, or a parent anywhere in the state, you can access the same specialized OCD treatment via telehealth — no travel, no waiting rooms, no geographic limitations.
One of the most complex and misunderstood presentations Dr. Srednicki treats is the co-occurrence of OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) — commonly referred to as sex addiction. Connecticut residents dealing with this combination often struggle in silence, unable to find a therapist who understands both conditions and how they interact.
When OCD and sex addiction co-occur, they reinforce each other in ways that make both conditions significantly worse:
Dr. Srednicki has specialized training in both OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder, making him one of the few clinicians in the country — and now accessible to all of Connecticut via telehealth — who can properly diagnose and treat this complex combination.
In addition to OCD and sex addiction, Dr. Srednicki treats all OCD subtypes, including:
Connecticut's unique character shapes how OCD presents and is experienced in the state. Fairfield County's high-stakes professional culture makes OCD perfectionism and "just right" OCD especially common — and especially easy to dismiss as normal striving. Yale University and other elite institutions attract high achievers who may struggle silently with OCD symptoms they attribute to academic pressure rather than a treatable condition.
Connecticut also has a strong religious and cultural heritage, particularly in its Polish, Italian, and Irish Catholic communities across Hartford, New Haven, and Waterbury. Scrupulosity OCD — the most religiously intertwined OCD subtype — is common in these communities and frequently goes untreated due to the belief that excessive guilt or religious fear is spiritually appropriate rather than symptomatic of a disorder.
Connecticut is a PSYPACT member state. Dr. Srednicki is fully authorized through PSYPACT to provide telehealth psychotherapy to Connecticut residents — meaning you receive the exact same standard of care as an in-person patient, fully within the law and your insurance's requirements.
Because OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder interact and reinforce each other, treatment must be coordinated — not siloed. Dr. Srednicki's integrated approach includes:
Telehealth sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform, making it easy to participate from anywhere in Connecticut — whether you are in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford, Waterbury, Norwalk, or any smaller community.
Dr. Henry Srednicki is the founder of The Center for OCD and one of the few practitioners in the country with deep specialized training in both OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder. He is authorized to provide telehealth therapy to residents of Connecticut and 41 other states through PSYPACT and individual state licensure. Unlike general therapists, Dr. Srednicki focuses exclusively on OCD and related disorders — meaning Connecticut clients dealing with OCD, sex addiction, or both receive the highest level of specialized care available nationwide.
To begin telehealth OCD or OCD & sex addiction therapy in Connecticut, simply contact The Center for OCD to schedule a free consultation. No referral is needed. Sessions are conducted online at a time that fits your schedule, and Dr. Srednicki works with adults, adolescents, and children throughout Connecticut and across the country.
Connecticut residents can begin the intake process with Dr. Srednicki online or by phone. The initial consultation includes a comprehensive OCD assessment so that treatment starts immediately with a targeted, evidence-based plan — no vague "supportive therapy" or repeated reassurance that feeds the OCD cycle.
Is Dr. Srednicki licensed to treat patients in Connecticut?
Yes. Dr. Srednicki is authorized to practice telehealth in Connecticut through PSYPACT, the interstate compact for licensed psychologists. Connecticut is a PSYPACT member state, meaning Dr. Srednicki can legally provide therapy to Connecticut residents without a separate Connecticut license.
What areas of Connecticut does Dr. Srednicki serve?
All of Connecticut. Dr. Srednicki serves OCD patients in Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury, New Britain, Meriden, West Haven, Milford, Shelton, and every other city, town, and community in the state.
I'm close to the New York border — would in-person treatment make more sense?
In-person sessions are available at Dr. Srednicki's Upper Montclair, NJ and New York City offices for Connecticut residents who prefer or need face-to-face sessions. Many southwestern Connecticut residents find the drive to NYC or NJ manageable. However, telehealth is equally effective and far more convenient for most patients.
Does insurance cover OCD telehealth therapy in Connecticut?
Many insurance plans cover telehealth mental health services. Dr. Srednicki can discuss insurance and payment options during your initial consultation. Connecticut's Mental Health Parity laws require most insurers to cover mental health services at the same level as physical health services.
