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.

"Got off to a rocky start. My first Therapist never showed up to the first Meeting, but Therapy Online reimbursed me and my new Therapist is helping a lot."

"I really loved the way the worksheets are sectioned and how you can essentially "do therapy" at any time. It's super convenient and really helped me work through things at my own pace. I have only used the basic membership in the past and am excited to try the live sessions. I have used other platforms like "BetterHelp" but prefer this one as the worksheets provide more immediate guidance and action."

"Our therapist created an environment where difficult issues could be discussed openly and where both people had an opportunity to express their feelings and perspectives. I never felt that the therapist's role was to simply tell us who was right or wrong. Instead, the process helped bring communication patterns, unresolved issues, and underlying feelings to the surface.
In my case, counseling ultimately gave me something I desperately needed: clarity."

"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."

"Website works well, though some of the worksheets I feel like can be too long or don't feel applicable to my specific scenario (feels like they have to do a one-size fits all) and would appreciate more of some kind of thing built by my individual therapist."
