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 feel like this is the perfect course. I have video calls with my therapist, I have a journal, I have other resources at my disposal to help guide me along the process. I write in my journal daily, and I do the worksheets every week and discuss the results with my therapist. And if you do not like a therapist, you can always change to another, and this is common sometimes, but I believe I have found a great therapist. Another thing that I really like is that they have financial aid for those who are not in the economic spot like me, as I am in between jobs. I can still afford to do my therapy, as they have 3 plans available."

"I’ve always said that I wanted to go to therapy but never did because it was too expensive. However, after some research I found online-therapy.com! Progress is slow when you’re working through hard things, but starting therapy at such an affordable price has significantly improved my mental health. I used to be so incredibly depressed, but my therapist has talked me through my challenges and I view some things entirely differently. If you’re thinking about starting - just do it. Take the chance on yourself."

"I like the system, the section and worksheets. It's a great plus to the the one on one meeting.
My therapist seems good and very encouraging. It helps a lot for motivation.
I tried before to do the work by myself but I could not, getting help was a difficult decision but this service make it easier"
