Expert OCD Treatment — Now Available to Maryland Residents

If you live in Maryland and are struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), specialized help is now available without leaving home. Dr. Henry Srednicki, a nationally recognized OCD specialist based in New York and New Jersey, offers comprehensive telehealth OCD therapy to Maryland residents — from Baltimore and Annapolis to Rockville, Frederick, Bethesda, Columbia, and beyond.

Why OCD Treatment Is Uniquely Challenging in Maryland

Maryland occupies a distinctive position in the mid-Atlantic region. Its proximity to Washington, DC creates a high-pressure professional environment where OCD often goes unrecognized because its symptoms — perfectionism, over-responsibility, excessive checking — can masquerade as professional diligence. High-achieving professionals, government employees, lawyers, and healthcare workers are among the groups most affected by undiagnosed OCD in Maryland.

Despite Maryland having one of the highest per-capita income levels in the country, access to truly specialized OCD treatment is far more limited than most residents realize. The Washington, DC metro area has few clinicians specifically trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Many Maryland residents cycle through general therapists for years without improvement, because standard cognitive therapy and supportive counseling are largely ineffective for OCD and can sometimes make it worse.

Who Dr. Srednicki Treats in Maryland

Dr. Srednicki works with Maryland adults, teens, and children of all backgrounds — including federal government employees and contractors, medical professionals at Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland Medical Center, college students at University of Maryland, Towson University, and other campuses, and families throughout the Baltimore-DC corridor. Telehealth makes geography irrelevant: if you're in Maryland, specialized OCD care is a video call away.

~ Integrated Treatment for OCD & Sex Addiction in Maryland

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 Maryland — whether you are in Baltimore, Annapolis, Rockville, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Columbia, or any smaller community.
