Initial CBT sessions emphasize psychoeducation on anxiety, OCD, treatment for OCD, and assessing readiness for change. The subsequent sessions primarily focus on Exposure and Response Prevention. 

During ERP, patients are assisted in progressive exposures to their specific fear and encouraged to stop compulsions. Sessions take place in the natural environment where the triggers, obsessive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors occur. For example, sessions may be held at restaurants, patient’s home or office, shopping malls, buses, or airplanes.
