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.

"I've done in person therapy before but I like the flexibility of this platform. I've only just the texting live sessions, but not had any errors or difficulties like a previous platform I tried. My therapist is great and is the first one I've really connected with, which is really important for effective therapy. Although I've worked through some of the worksheets I don't find that aspect particularly helpful I do appreciate the option."

"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 honestly didn't have many expectations going into online therapy and was open to where it would take me but reflecting on it – understanding that one's therapist relationship takes time to build – it's incredible to have found someone who is professional and genuinely seems to care and wants to develop that growth with you. It's still a work in progress but Online-Therapy seems to make it as frictionless as they can."

"I came to Therapy 5 weeks ago with a relationship problem that I had spent years without a solution for. I had tried therapy twice before to no avail, but after my first session with Gina, I knew I had found the right therapist to help me through my problem. First and foremost, she emphasized that the turmoil I was struggling with was not something to be ashamed of and assured me that we would work through it together. Gina came to each session with helpful insights and ended each session with thoughtful takeaways. Her responses to my worksheets were detailed, impactful, and encouraging. Gina helped me arrive at a solution that I am confident in, but more importantly, it's a decision that feels like my own. 10/10 would recommend."
