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.

"Excellent Karen is"

"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"

"I was in a hole. Life wasn't going at all like I expected. Huge losses, and I felt like there wasn't hope. My mindset was challenged and I'm seeing things a lot differently. Trust the process, there are lifelines if you'll grab them."

"I have been very fortunate to find such a supportive and empathetic therapist as Dr Vicki. Her exercises, interaction via chat, email and video are extremely empowering. She puts a lot of emphasis on being there for her patients, which I really loved and am grateful for. She has really helped/guided me to come to my own conclusions whilst helping me to avoid catastrophizing. She really knows how to listen and make you feel heard, but also to recognise where behaviour comes from and the consequences and effects of your actions on yourself and others. She is a very well-read, hard-working and helpful therapist and I would recommend her to anyone who really wants to work on themselves."
