Is it wrong 2 ask a psychologist(on sms b4 visiting)what kind of therapy he use 4 ocd&socialanxiety?cz he blocked me when i asked him&what should i do

No it's fine: it lmay be hard to answer specific questions without seeing you for an initial session ( getting history, symptoms). However, if a mental health professional refuses to answer general questions ( who much experience he/she has in treating a disorder) what approach he uses etc.. This may be a sign you should find someone else.

Training: There should be no problem asking any clinician about training and what informs his professional practice.
