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 found this website through Reddit when I was going through a really bad phase. The worksheets offered on here were really great tools in helping me understand and control my emotions. My therapist couldn't be anymore understanding and accommodating. Having access to her through the messages while I wait for our next appointment has been such a positive. The journal on here has also helped me in seeing the positive in everyday."

"I honestly didn't have many expectations going into online therapy and was open to where it would take me but reflecting on it – understanding that one's therapist relationship takes time to build – it's incredible to have found someone who is professional and genuinely seems to care and wants to develop that growth with you. It's still a work in progress but Online-Therapy seems to make it as frictionless as they can."

"I've had a positive experience working with Vanessa. She's been warm, approachable, and easy to talk to.

I appreciate how she listens without judgment and gives me the space to explore my thoughts and feelings openly. I came into therapy already working through some things on my own, and Vanessa has been a supportive and encouraging presence throughout that process.

Our conversations have given me a space to talk through what's happening in my life, reflect on my progress, and feel heard, particularly at times when I've felt alone. She's been encouraging and happy to see the progress I've made, which I've really appreciated.

I'm glad I found Vanessa and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, and understanding therapist.

"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.
