Overcome Your OCD with Online Therapy
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'm just starting out with online therapy. I've had a handful of in-person sessions and the results are nothing to be desired. So far I like how the therapist sends messages and that there is work to do outside of the session. I chose this route to more accountable for my actions and success."

"Thank you for the great therapist who I got to chose on Online-Therapy. She was focused and patient and extremely aware of where I needed to go and how to get me there. I would recommend Tara-Jean to anyone who needs some guidance, a listening ear or the full therapy experience."

"A great program and guideline to follow being able to go at my own pace. Everything made more and more sense the further along in the program I went. With the help of my therapist and the worksheets, my anxiety has gone from 10 to a 5 in three weeks and feeling I have more control of my day to day life."
