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 enjoying my experience with online-therapy so far. My therapist is neutral and non-judgemental in the best way and asks great questions to help me reflect and further understand myself, while also providing guidance and helping me set activities to help me through my anxiety.

Using the platform itself is easy. Scheduling sessions is simple and the worksheets and informational content available is helpful for further understanding and working on myself."

"I tried another service in the past, however it did not go so well. I'm glad we signed up with this one, even more that we got Catherine, she has been great. While there's still a lot to work on, I'm happy this has given us the opportunity to have an open dialogue about our issues."

"CBT is effective. Following the steps online and with my therapist it's helping me to take back my life. It's not easy because it's a hard work to understand myself, but it's the right path and it can bring to long-term benefits."

"It really is a process but I’m already feeling like some weight is being lifted just by being able to say all my thoughts in a safe non judgmental space. I’m excited to see how I can implement what I learn to make me a stronger person"
