Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder that remains chronic unless intervened with evidence-based intervention. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention is the gold-standard psychological intervention for OCD, but many individuals do not receive this intervention due to barriers to accessing treatment. Mental health technology tools such as telehealth, computerized programs, internet-delivered CBT, and mobile applications have been adopted to expand the accessibility of CBT. An up-to-date summary of the evidence base of technology-mediated formats of CBT for OCD treatment is provided. Clinical benefits offered by such approaches, current limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
