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.

"So far a good experience, I really appreciate how easy it is to switch therapists and the response times CAN be slow but aren't terrible. Not sure how useful the worksheets are on their own, but they're good conversation starters for your therapist!"

"very very very helpful so far
asking the right questions
I've been really happy with OnlineTherapy.com. Getting matched with a therapist was quick and easy, and the interactions have genuinely helped me work through what I was struggling with. Being able to message my therapist and fit appointments around my schedule made a huge difference — it felt way more accessible than in-person therapy. Highly recommend if you're looking for flexible, quality support.""

"I can’t recommend Marisa highly enough. When I started therapy, I felt anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of overthinking. Marisa created such a supportive and understanding space where I felt genuinely heard and understood.
She helped me work through some difficult emotions and, most importantly, helped me recognise that my feelings were valid. Through our sessions, I gained clarity, confidence, and a much kinder perspective towards myself. What once felt like a whirlwind of thoughts became much easier to understand and navigate.
I’m leaving therapy feeling far more optimistic about the future and much more confident in the decisions I’m making. Marisa has played a huge part in helping me get to that place, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance, compassion, and insight."
