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.

"Sometimes we don't notice how powerful our mind can be and how negative thoughts affect our feelings and behaviors. This CBT program changed my mind, which in turn changed how I feel and behave. I would recommend anyone to go through this program. We all have problems and stress and this CBT information, when put into practice can be life changing. Thanks!"

"This program has been extremely helpful for me- the convenience of being able to message when I need to from home or work or wherever has been why I have been consistent with therapy for the first time."

"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."

"This program is amazing and my therapist was fantastic. With her help I was able to learn more about my mental health, learn how to change negative thoughts into positive ones, manage my anger, see things from a more positive perspective, and forgive myself and others. I highly recommend this program!!!!"

"So far this therapy experience has been positive for me, and has helped me to make steps towards happiness. I love my therapist, and she gives me actionable tips and goals that are achievable. I'm really starting to see a difference already and how I react with my environment and the people that are in my life. This has been very eye-opening so far, and it has caused me to look at myself and make a difference instead of looking to others to do that for me."
