Online OCD Therapy Across Nebraska
Specialized ERP treatment for OCD. Available statewide via telehealth.
OCD specialists are hard to find in Nebraska. Many people drive hours for appointments or settle for therapists who treat OCD like general anxiety. Neither option leads to the results you deserve. I offer Exposure and Response Prevention, the most effective treatment for OCD, via secure telehealth to adults anywhere in Nebraska. Whether you are in Omaha, Lincoln, or anywhere else in the state, you can access the same quality of specialized care from the privacy of your own home.
The problem with treating OCD like regular anxiety
Here is what usually happens. You recognize something is wrong. You find a therapist, probably someone local who has availability. They are kind, competent, and well-intentioned. But they treat your OCD the way they would treat generalized anxiety: talk about the thoughts, try to reason with them, practice relaxation techniques. And for a while it might feel like it is helping. But then the thoughts come back, sometimes worse than before, and you start to wonder if therapy just does not work for you.
It is not that therapy does not work. It is that the wrong type of therapy does not work for OCD. Reassurance and analysis feed the cycle. ERP breaks it. I have over 13 years of experience using ERP with clients whose OCD ranges from mild to severe. This is the work I have built my entire clinical practice around, and the difference in outcomes between specialized and generalized treatment is significant.
If you have been through therapy before without lasting change, do not assume the problem is you. It is far more likely the approach was not matched to the condition.
Areas of specialization
My practice focuses on OCD and related anxiety conditions. These are the areas where I can make the biggest difference:
OCD
Every subtype. Contamination, harm, relationship, scrupulosity, existential, "just right," and more. The theme varies. The treatment works the same way.
Learn moreAnxiety
Chronic worry that has become the default setting for your brain. The kind that makes rest feel impossible and simple decisions feel enormous.
Learn morePanic Disorder
Sudden, intense surges of fear that mimic heart attacks and strokes. The attacks are terrifying, but the avoidance that follows is what truly limits your life.
Learn morePhobias
Fears that have grown past the point of logic. Exposure therapy retrains your nervous system so the fear no longer dictates your choices.
Learn moreEmetophobia
Fear of vomiting that shapes what you eat, where you go, and how you live. It is more common than people realize and highly treatable.

Specialized care without the drive
Nebraska is a big state, and OCD specialists are concentrated in a very small number of cities. Telehealth changes that equation entirely. All sessions happen over secure video through Jane, a HIPAA-compliant platform designed for healthcare. You connect from wherever you are. No two-hour drives. No taking a full day off work for a one-hour appointment.
ERP is well-suited to virtual delivery
There is strong research showing that online ERP produces outcomes equivalent to in-person ERP. One advantage of the virtual format is that we can do exposures in your actual environment. The kitchen where contamination fears live. The bedroom where bedtime rituals play out. Treating OCD where it happens, rather than in a clinical office, can actually accelerate progress.
Statewide coverage
I am licensed in Nebraska and can work with any adult who is physically in the state during our sessions. It does not matter whether you are in a metro area or a rural community. If you are in Nebraska, you have access to the same level of specialized treatment.
Simple setup
You need a private space where you can talk openly, a device with a camera and microphone, and a decent internet connection. Jane handles scheduling, session links, and reminders. The technology stays out of the way so we can focus on the work.
What treatment costs
Initial assessment: $250
We start with a detailed clinical assessment that goes well beyond a standard intake questionnaire. I need to understand how OCD is showing up in your specific life, what you have tried, what has and has not worked, and what your goals are. This session sets the direction for everything that follows.
Ongoing sessions: $200
I am a private pay provider. Insurance is not billed directly, but I provide superbills upon request at the end of each month that you can use to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance company. Many Nebraska plans include out-of-network mental health benefits, and clients often recover a substantial portion of the cost. Check your benefits here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you located in Nebraska?
I am licensed in Nebraska and work with clients across the entire state via telehealth. Whether you are in Omaha, Lincoln, or a smaller community, all sessions are conducted over secure video through Jane, a HIPAA-compliant healthcare platform.
Do I need to be in Omaha or Lincoln to see you?
No. I see clients anywhere in Nebraska via secure telehealth. Your location within the state does not matter. If you have a private space and an internet connection, we can work together.
How do I schedule my first appointment?
Book a free 15-minute phone consultation through Jane. It is a brief, no-pressure conversation where we talk about what you are experiencing and whether my approach is right for you.
What does treatment cost without insurance?
The initial assessment is $250. Ongoing sessions are $200 each. I provide superbills you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many Nebraska insurance plans include out-of-network mental health coverage.
I have never done ERP before. What should I expect?
ERP starts with a thorough assessment and a plan. We identify your triggers and build a hierarchy from least to most anxiety-provoking. Then we begin exposures gradually. You will face situations that trigger your OCD on purpose, without performing the compulsion. It is uncomfortable. I will not pretend otherwise. But it is how your brain learns that the discomfort passes on its own and that the feared outcome is not actually dangerous. Most people start to see meaningful shifts within the first several weeks.
Can telehealth really work for OCD?
Yes. The research on this is clear: telehealth-delivered ERP is as effective as in-person ERP for OCD. In some ways, it has an advantage because you are practicing exposures in the actual setting where OCD affects you, not in a therapist's office. You learn to manage OCD in real life, which is where it actually matters.
