Welcome to CBIT Therapy

CBIT Therapy is a telehealth occupational therapy practice affiliated with Online OTs LLC. We specialize in Habit Reversal Training to decrease the frequency and intensity of unwanted repetitive actions. Support is available in MA, NY, NH, VT, ME, CT, and RI for children, teens, and adults with the following conditions:

Tic Disorders

• Vocal tics
• Motor tics
• Coprolalia
• Tourette Syndrome

Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB)

• Nail, skin, cheek, or lip biting
• Skin picking or scratching
• Hair pulling (Trich)

Tics and BFRB involve unwanted repetitive actions that can significantly impair one's quality of life. Patients often report social isolation, embarrassment, frustration, shame, physical pain, difficulty completing tasks, exhaustion, and a sense of lack of control of their bodies. Fortunately, a combination of Habit Reversal Training (HRT) methods have been proven to decrease the urges and reduce the behaviors. CBIT Therapy utilizes our expertise in HRT programs called Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB)  to provide practical solutions that are easy to implement. 

We accept private pay and the following insurance plans:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield (HMO and PPO)
• Mass General Brigham Health Plan (HMO and PPO)
• Anthem PPO
• Anthem HMO (Massachusetts only)

All Anthem patients are required to ask their PCP to request precertification.

Online OTs and CBIT Therapy were one of the very first occupational therapy practices to exclusively offer telehealth. Support is based on common sense strategies that can be quickly put into place and used anywhere. The clinical director, Susan Eppling, offers extensive professional and personal experience, as well as great compassion for her patients and their families.
