Overcome Your OCD with Online Therapy

Category: OCD Online Therapy | Last updated: February 1st, 2022 | Reviewed and approved 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 am very early into the process, but so far, there's an abundance of resources and supporting tools. I was also able to find a therapist, Sarah, who has a schedule that aligns with mine. Based on our first session today, I can see that she approaches her clients with openness and curiosity and she listens mindfully. She offers perceptive reflections and affirms the journey. I will continue the process and trust that all of the above will be helpful."

"This service is excellent for people who have never tried therapy before. It's an easy way to get into it and talk to a professional about how you're feeling. I only joined for 4 weeks but that was enough for my personalised therapist to talk through how I was feeling, help me think about things differently and provide good coping mechanisms. I would recommend this site to a friend 100%."

"I love the worksheets along with examples and explanations. I also love the yoga sessions. This platform is great for hands on self evaluation which I enjoy doing. What would make it a 5 star experience would be the UI. I believe it can be more streamline. For example, when a therapist replies to my worksheet, I have to click on that specific worksheet. It took some time to get it but just an example how we can make it easier. I also believe rebooking a therapist can be easier. Finding the live session link is fine but it took some looking around to see where to rebook. Just little things"
