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 have a very busy work schedule and I have wanted to start therapy for quite some time. The nature of my work makes my schedule unpredictable and subject to last minute changes. I am so happy I found Online Therapy. Not only do they use evidence based practices, have efficient therapists, and tons of available teams on every day of the week, but also I schedule my own appointments when my work schedule is locked in. I couldn't ask for more."

"I have very much appreciated the feedback that I have gotten from Stephanie and it is encouraging to work through the different workbook sessions. I have discovered some surprising things about myself and also some difficult things about myself. Working through some of my behaviours has been challenging but onward and upward."

"Online-Therapy.com has been a genuine find for anyone with a packed schedule. The async messaging format means you don't need to carve out a fixed hour every week, you engage on your own time. I got matched with a therapist who actually fits my communication style and approach, which I honestly didn't expect from an algorithm. If you've been putting off therapy because of logistics, this removes most of the excuses."

"I have been working with Kat for some time now and am grateful for her. Highly recommend her as a therapist. She knows what she is talking about and listens to her client. Also, very flexible with tools to help and patient. It do not feel like just a number."
