ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to challenges in providing cognitive-behavioral therapy for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Despite the presence of the pandemic and the risk of contracting illness, therapists can continue to utilize exposure with response prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard psychotherapy treatment for OCD. Therapists can ethically implement ERP by focusing on core treatment tenets while incorporating guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to mitigate risk for COVID-19 exposure. The pandemic has also provided an opportunity to more widely implement ERP through virtual telehealth appointments, which have notable benefits as well as some drawbacks.
