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.

"I was really nervous to start therapy, and choosing a platform felt overwhelming. However, my therapist and the platform has made therapy a really great experience. There's material to look at in your own time which has really helped me set up a routine for self reflection, alongside options on how often and how you want to speak to your therapist. Making the leap to starting therapy was tough, but I know I made the right decision. Would recommend online-therapy.com for anyone unsure of where to start their self healing journey."

"Online therapy gave me access to affordable talk therapy during a hard time in my life. Due to circumstances and moving cities, I couldn’t fit in-person counselling into my schedule but I needed support. I would suggest this site to anyone."

"I have to say, using online-therapy has been extremely beneficial for my life. I am a busy grad student and healthcare worker who has been dealing with a lot of anxiety around my line of work and my daily responsibilities of someone who works/goes to school full time. My therapist and I tackled the root of the anxiety and focused on strategies of things I can do when I am feeling overwhelmed. Overall, i feel like I have become a more calm person. I think of my emotions before I react. I journal, I deep breathe. These are all habits I have learned through therapy, and I am so grateful to online-therapy for having a platform that makes therapy easily accessible."

"This program gives some quality ideas for helping work through some emotional and mental situations. The therapists respond quickly to messages/notes that I left on the worksheets. I would encourage someone to try this out even if it is just to get ideas. However, I think it would be better sign up for live sessions if someone is having more pressing issues they need to talk about."
