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.

"A month and a few days in, I'm aleady seeing a difference in how I feel and act, and understanding myself better. I wasn't sure therapy solely through messages would do much, but my therapist is great at asking just the right questions to get me thinking deeper about things I used to take as "just how I am."
The flexibility is great, and I like being able to take the time to think through things while I'm writing my responses. My therapist's responses are usually quick-- usually there will be a message waiting in the morning and I'll think it over during the day, send my response that night, and continue the conversation the following day.
Even the cheapest tier is worth a shot, in my opinion."

"I have struggled with maintaining therapists because of my employment status. Finding an option that considers my income and prevents me from having to find new providers every time I move has been incredible.
I was fortunate to find a therapist I connected with after just one meeting, but I also realized that changing therapists is not a complicated process. Sometimes you don't click with someone, and it can be challenging to continue searching. Knowing that trasition is simple gives me the confidence to keep investing in my mental health and wellbeing.
I have always had difficulty journaling (my rational brain knows its value but the emotional brain feels stumped), but this platform's format of questions has made it much easier to feel the emotional benefits.
Thank you online-therapy.com"

"I live in an environment where I can’t pick up and go see a therapist. I have found using this site, my chosen therapist and the structured program very therapeutic. I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling isolated and needs to reach out and seek guidance. Finding support is a text, click or virtual appointment away and I have found it very beneficial to my mental/emotional and physical well being."
Finding Myself Again (March 03, 2026)

"I really love the materials on the website - together with a great matched therapist, Christa, this gives me really good feeling about real progress, work I can do also by myself, it's a great value for money and in my first month I already see a lot of improvement in my well-being. Thank you!
The only issue are some technical problems of the website I had in the beginning - one session was suddenly changed from video to text, and another time my therapist didn't receive our appointment notification so basically I lost two sessions - the support was really great and understanding though, and gave me 1 extra week extension for each problem. Great service!"

"Our first therapist was really good but left the site after a couple of sessions. We got the money refunded for it and are now trying again, so far it was a good experience."
