Online Therapy for OCD
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.

"Love Amanda Laflamme my therapist. She is easygoing, easy to talk to, understanding but also isn’t scared to call me out or ask me tough questions. Just from doing most of the worksheets and one session with her and I feel 100x better. Just one session and already implementing her strategies and it’s immediately working. I’m so grateful I did a Google search and found this website. Thank you Amanda and Online-Therapy! Thank you so much!!!! Really looking forward to the rest of my journey working with her!!!"

"So far this seems good. Usually pretty quick turnaround in communication. Not always, but generally. Quality of advice and feedback though so far is great!"

"so far, so good! My therapist seems empathetic, compassionate and is easy to share with.
The therapy is expensive, perhaps because my last therapy was "rent-controlled" ha ha.
But it's all relative. My mental health is worth the expense!"
