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.

"I have been seeing a little clearer and seeing myself in a different light. Though, I wont say I am healed and I am okay, I can still see the small steps and be happy with it."

"My therapist Tania is the best I've seen so far. Super patient, knowledgeable, and down to Earth. I'm excited to continue to work with her and get to know her, and myself, better.

It would be really nice if this service had an app. Doing sessions over mobile browser is ok, but the interface isn't always user friendly imo. Especially when my phone screen shuts off while I'm not paying attention and Tania doesn't hear the rant I've been on for the past 2 minutes haha.

Overall good service. Good provider. Needs an app.

"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."

"Lynn was a great therapist! She understood the problems I was having and she gave me a plan that I will follow. I had the feeling that she actually cared about me and my problems. If I ever need a therapist again she will be the therapist I contact!!"

"i came into therapy at a desperate time. i haven't lived very long, so perhaps i'll face more desperation down the line, but at the time it was the single hardest moment i've lived. coming to therapy, on this platform, was also the single best decision i've made so far. i like my therapist, i like working on myself, and this platform, for facilitating that, is worth all the stars in the world."

"I am only a couple weeks into this program and am enjoying it so far. I've had one session with my therapist, Shawn Matthews, and she has been excellent. I felt very safe to discuss my emotions and issues, and the worksheet feedback has been timely and very insightful. I look forward to trying out the yoga and meditation learning next."
