OCD vs OCPD: Ocpd is a personality structure characterized by certain dysfunctional beliefs, hoarding, extreme "moral" views, problems relating and more. Not the same as ocd, but often related. Thrapists with skill in this area are best. Psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches can be effective. The person needs to come to realize that they have a problem and commit to treatment.

A psychologist: Obsessive compulsive personality disorder. Personality disorders are by definition long-standing and take some time to resolve. The type of clinical psychologist or psychiatrist that can help may depend on goas of treatment. Insight-oriented and psychodynamic therapist work on change through understanding of patterns and creating better coping. Cog-behavioral will oft target specific symptoms.
