This study is for adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) who are unemployed and want to find a job in New York State. It compares two ways to help people with OCD get and keep employment. All 40 participants will receive up to 12 sessions of exposure and response prevention, a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is a common treatment for OCD. By chance, half will also receive Individual Placement and Support (IPS), where a specialist helps with job searches and resumes. The other half will receive Standard Vocational Services, where a representative helps identify skills and job opportunities. The study will look at how many people find competitive employment and how many hours they work over 12 months. This study is currently recruiting participants.
