Online Therapy for OCD
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.

"The sessions and worksheets have been able to remind me that I can reframe most things, if not anything, into better perspective."

"I am 50 and have had many many therapists, counsellors, psychologists... throughout my life, and they were never effective or tuned into my specific issues. I have walked out of sessions because the "help" was just so unhelpful. After one month of seeing my therapist here I have learned more and gotten more help than I ever have before. My therapist is the most amazing person who not only makes me feel comfortable and seen, but gives me the most effective advice and homework I have ever had. I have progressed more in this past month with her than I ever have with anyone else. I am just so overjoyed with my decision to try therapy here. I will never go anywhere else for my mental health support."

"I am signing up once again after using the tools I learned at Online Therapy. I lucked out and connected with Max Will, a therapist who listened closely and gave challanging, sympathetic, and objective insights to my personal situation. My patience has increased, my stress is less, and now I am looking to focus on future goals and put the past behind me."

"I feel like doing this has not only confirmed some stuff with me that I already knew, but helped me realize stuff I wouldn't have without that extra perspective. I know i may never be truly ‘cured’ from my problems, but I know feel less that I'm truly broken, and that I have the ability to work towards chsnge."

"It was a bit bumpy with the first pairing but they were honest in that we were not compatible. Then Katalin took over and it was great. Working together, listening, being pushed, challenged (really key) was amazing. Im grateful"

"The service is great! I wish there was an option to do a live session every 2 weeks that would help save some costs."
