Overcome Your OCD with Online Therapy
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.

"It's really great, and I love that I have someone who can help me process my thoughts more clearly. It's horrible that we are under such hard times that I can't afford to keep this service much longer."

"Easy to sign up with prechosen topics of issues that I like to address. A discounted month is always welcomed, as things are financially tough at the moment. I am looking forward to the weekly chat session and the worksheet. Feeling hopeful that this tool will be helpful."

"Bernadette and the passion that she has for helping people is what helped change my life. I was at a pretty low point when I came here to find a therapist and the entire experience exceeded all of my expectations. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, Bernadette was able to get me from being in bed all day every day to finally living again and finding my smile. I am very grateful and I would highly recommend the service."

"First time doing online therapy and wasn't sure at first but after finding the right therapist it has been great. She is kind and patient with me and is helping me through all my stuff. The lessons are easy to navigate and has been beneficial for me. They may not work for everyone but if you are thinking of trying therapy this is a good place to start."

"My therapist has been amazing she has made me really put my mind to looking at things in a positive way and looking at things that I have hit deep within and not wanted to face, She is responsive all the time and I appreciate that she gets back with me super quick as far as messages go and she gets back with me with results of how I've answered my worksheets in with her Responses of my work sheet. I think that this is amazing and I hope to be able to afford and continue to go forward."
