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.

"Some of the technology was a little wonky at first, but the customer service was quick to respond amd very helpful. I switched therapists to someone in the same state and that was a great decision. I'm getting more from this platform than I ever did from a regular in-person therapist and I am very pleased."

"I find this site very helpful. I like the many ways that we can be involved with Online-therapy.com such as yoga, audio, messaging, jounalling and work sheets. Also, we can change how we wish to be involved. I like that we can have face to face therapy and messaging. My therapist is excellent and very suitable for me and also messages me back very quickly. I like the CBT aspect of the site. I find listening to talks about CBT creates understanding as well as the reading. I would always return to Online-therapy.com if I need to."

"Online therapy has been such a positive experience for me. My therapist, Angela, is absolutely amazing-kind, patient, and incredibly insightful. She has helped me learn practical tools to better manage stress, process emotions, and approach challenges with more confidence and clarity. The convenience of online sessions made it easy to stay consistent, and I’ve truly seen growth in myself because of our work together. I’m so grateful for the support and guidance Angela has provided."
