Frequently Asked Questions

About OCD & Anxiety Therapy with Julie Carmichael, LICSW

​

Do you offer virtual therapy?

Yes
I provide secure, HIPAA‑compliant virtual therapy sessions for adults located in:

• Massachusetts

• Ireland

• Scotland

• The United Kingdom

Online therapy allows you to access specialized OCD and anxiety treatment from wherever you are, without losing the structure and accountability of in‑person work.

​

Do you offer in‑person sessions?

Yes

I offer a limited number of in‑person sessions in addition to virtual therapy. These are best suited for clients who prefer face‑to‑face support or want to combine in‑person and online sessions.

​

Do you accept insurance?

Yes

I accept most insurance policies in the state of MA.

 

Do you accept insurance outside of MA?

No

​

Do you accept private pay appointments?

Yes, my fees are  $175.00 per session and $200.00 for the initial evaluation. 

​

​​How long will therapy take?

It depends on your goals, the severity of your symptoms, and how often we meet.
Many people notice improvement within a few months, especially when they practice skills regularly between sessions. Some continue longer‑term to strengthen progress or work on broader concerns.

We’ll discuss your goals from the start so you have a clear sense of direction.

 

​​Schedule a Consultation

Most new clients begin with a brief 15‑minute consultation call.
This gives us a chance to talk about what’s been going on, what you’re hoping for, and whether this kind of therapy feels like the right fit.

If it seems like a good match, we’ll schedule your first full session and create a plan together.
