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.

"Sessions have helped me alot even though it's still early days. I would however like an update on how the worksheet operates, maybe a new UI interface"

"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."

"Overall I believe the self-guided course and worksheets are useful and indicative of the different, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors I was exhibiting over the weeks.
I could have made more use of the Yoga, Activity Plan, Journal, and Messaging feature, but being able to talk to a live therapist once a week was very useful in getting me on the right path and ending up creating those tools on my own."

"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"

"Katro Henderson has been such an amazing Therapist. I've only begun my sessions but I feel a wonderful connection with her. You can hear her compassion, understanding and empathy in her voice. I am looking forward to my continued sessions with her."
