Summary
In this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sara Conley, a licensed clinical psychologist and clinical manager at NOCD, to discuss a groundbreaking new study on virtual Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for children and teens with OCD.
We explore the study’s powerful findings—including a 37.3% median reduction in OCD symptoms in just 13 sessions—and how virtual ERP therapy is changing the landscape of OCD treatment for families.
Dr. Conley shares how NOCD’s model brings accessible, evidence-based therapy directly into families’ homes, and why parent involvement is a key piece of successful treatment.
We also talk about:
- What makes virtual ERP different from in-person therapy
- How the NOCD app supports families between sessions
- The importance of integrating therapy into real life without overwhelming families
- How over 90% of American families with commercial health insurance can access NOCD’s treatment
- What this study means for the future of OCD treatment and the broader mental health crisis in youth
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or you’re already navigating OCD treatment, this episode offers encouragement, insights, and practical hope.
