Expert OCD Treatment — Now Available to Connecticut Residents


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.


Why Connecticut Residents Choose Dr. Srednicki for OCD Treatment


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.


Who Dr. Srednicki Treats in Connecticut


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.

Telehealth OCD therapy is just as effective as in-person treatment — backed by clinical research

No need to travel — get specialized ERP therapy from a certified OCD specialist anywhere in Connecticut

~ OCD & Sex Addiction in Connecticut: A Specialized Focus

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:

  • Sexual behavior as a compulsion: Sexual acts become rituals used to neutralize OCD anxiety — repeating behaviors until something "feels right" or using sexual activity to temporarily silence intrusive thoughts
  • Intrusive sexual thoughts misread as addiction: OCD-driven intrusive sexual thoughts (unwanted, fear-based, ego-dystonic) are mistakenly treated as compulsive sexual behavior — leading to shame spirals and wrong treatment
  • Shame and secrecy: Shame intensifies both OCD obsessions and addictive sexual cycles simultaneously, making both harder to treat without an integrated approach
  • Misdiagnosis is common: Without a clinician trained in both OCD and CSBD, one condition is often treated in a way that makes the other 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.

~ Other OCD Subtypes Treated via Telehealth in Connecticut

In addition to OCD and sex addiction, Dr. Srednicki treats all OCD subtypes, including:

  • HOCD (Sexual Orientation OCD): Intrusive doubts about sexual orientation causing intense distress and compulsive checking
  • POCD (Pedophilia OCD): Unwanted, ego-dystonic intrusive thoughts involving children — one of the most misunderstood OCD subtypes
  • ROCD (Relationship OCD): Relentless doubt about relationships, partners, and feelings of love
  • Scrupulosity/Religious OCD: Fear of sin, blasphemy, or moral contamination interfering with daily life and faith
  • Harm OCD: Intrusive fears of accidentally or intentionally harming oneself or others
  • Pure O OCD: Purely obsessional OCD with mental rather than visible compulsions
  • Postpartum OCD: Intrusive thoughts affecting new and expecting mothers
  • Health Anxiety/Hypochondria: Persistent fears about illness and medical conditions
  • Trichotillomania & Dermatillomania: Hair pulling and skin picking disorders
  • Just Right OCD, Rumination OCD, Existential OCD and many more

~ Connecticut-Specific Considerations for OCD Treatment

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.

~ Integrated Treatment for OCD & Sex Addiction in Connecticut


Because OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder interact and reinforce each other, treatment must be coordinated — not siloed. Dr. Srednicki's integrated approach includes:



  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard OCD treatment, targeting obsessions and breaking the compulsion cycle, including sexual compulsions driven by OCD anxiety

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — for both OCD thought patterns and compulsive sexual behavior, including trigger identification and relapse prevention

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — developing psychological flexibility and values-based living, reducing shame-driven cycles

  • Distress tolerance skills (DBT-informed) — addressing the emotional dysregulation that drives both OCD and compulsive sexual behavior

  • Shame reduction and psychoeducation — helping clients understand the critical difference between OCD intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and addictive behavior


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.

~ Frequently Asked Questions — Connecticut Residents


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?
