Most of us have, at some time, felt uncertain about leaving the iron or the stove on and some have even gone home to check. This type of behavior is just normal and doesn't cause any damage or harm in one's life. However, if you have intrusive "what if" thoughts, and your need to perform these behaviors on a regular basis and they interfere with your daily life, then you might be suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD is a condition marked by irrational beliefs (obsessions) and rituals (compulsions). The obsessions are recurrent, unwanted thoughts that are difficult or impossible for you to ignore and cause you anxiety. By performing repetitive, ritualized compulsions, you (temporarily) ease your anxiety. It may, for example, be that you often wash your hands very thoroughly, or check all the locks in your home. You may feel like you "have" to do these rituals. These thoughts and behaviors most likely take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you significant stress which can cause tension in your relationships and other aspects of your life.

Luckily there is hope, even if you have tried to stop your compulsions before and it has not been as successful as you would like. Our therapy for OCD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will identify what triggers your OCD. You will learn how to face your obsessions and find ways to refrain from ritualizing. Eventually you will be able to face these triggers without the need to perform your normal rituals (like washing your hands several times in a row or checking the lights numerous times). You will discover how to replace these negative thoughts with more realistic ones. Eventually you will be in charge of the thoughts and behaviors that previously have been fueling your OCD, so that you can live life free from obsessions and compulsions.

"Loree has been very helpful. I find the sessions have been fulfilling. My wife and I are making progress. A little bit at a time, but there's been noticeable change for me anyhow. I only wish the sessions were an hour. 45 minutes always seems like a crunch."

"I have participated in several online therapy programs, and I really appreciate the format. Online therapy gives me the time and space to process my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at my own pace. The focus is entirely on me and my personal growth, which has been incredibly valuable.
If you are like me — working abroad, facing doubts, but always striving to improve — I highly recommend giving online therapy a try."

"I like my experience so far . I just wish you guys would have an app instead of using a browser to access the services. I would also like to see a filter where we can choose therapists in our area/ community as well- not just by country , but by city and so forth. But I appreciate and enjoy all the resources you guys offer and the price point , which is very much needed for people who are low or no income.

Thanks."

"Once I found the right therapist, I found the service very helpful. I could message and get the support I felt I needed when I felt I was in crisis. I am happy with the service so far."
