Online Therapy for OCD

Category: OCD Online Therapy | Last updated: March 11th, 2026 | Medically reviewed by:

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.

"My session with Marina was excellent.
She knows the best way for me to succeed in attaining my goals and we have discussed practical methods to achieve them. To be more specific, I want to be able to plan my classes for this school year which starts this October.
I usually wait until the night before. Obviously, I could enjoy what I am doing and have a better program for my students if I started earlier.
At our next meeting I will show her what I have done with the modalities we have discussed in class.
I feel better already.

Kind regards,
Sarah Sands

"I had Lynn Hiscoe as my therapist over the past few months. She has helped me understand why I am who I am along with the guidance I needed to work on improving my relationship with my Wife. She has a very direct, no nonsense approach which I found to be very effective in leading me down the path to becoming more empathetic, kind, and compassionate. I would recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a great therapist!"

"Talking with my therapist has been insightful and so helpful for seeing my patterns. And working through how to not let those patterns be destructive.
She is a sounding board when there are tough days.

"Ms. Tyi is an amazing therapist. So glad I was paired with her. I was so worried about the possibility of being paired with someone who I cannot relate to, since this is my first time trying out therapy in general. She is relateable, likeable and wonderful overall. Her approach is kind,understanding and comforting. Highly recommend her."
