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.

"It’s been extremely helpful for me so far to have an outlet outside of my regular family and friends. Unhelpful service when it comes to subscription issues."

"I am new to using online-therapy and am three weeks into it. I am relieved to say that I have found the guidance and information my assigned therapist has given me so far has been very helpful! I will definitely continue working with my therapist and can comfortably give online-therapy a 5 star rating."

"There are many things I enjoy about this service. I like that I can message my therapist anytime and they respond quickly. I love the price of the service. I love the structured program that it provides. The reading and worksheets have made me think and work really hard in ways I didn't expect. I'm only 3 weeks in. I'm excited for what's next."

"Online-Therapy.com has been a genuine find for anyone with a packed schedule. The async messaging format means you don't need to carve out a fixed hour every week, you engage on your own time. I got matched with a therapist who actually fits my communication style and approach, which I honestly didn't expect from an algorithm. If you've been putting off therapy because of logistics, this removes most of the excuses."
