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.

"Belinda Gray was absolutely phenomenal! My wife and I faced the most challenging period in our relationship in November 2024, reaching a point where I was considering moving out and starting a new life. This was unprecedented in our 14.5 years together, making it particularly difficult.

Desperately needing professional help, we discovered online-therapy.com. The website's user-friendly and interactive interface proved invaluable during this time.

Our weekly video sessions with Belinda created a sense of mutual accountability. Her expertise, kindness, and insight were instrumental in helping us strengthen our marriage. She provided us with practical tools and guidance that helped us reconnect and rebuild our relationship. Thanks to her support, we've made significant progress in understanding and communicating with each other.

I highly recommend Belinda to any couples going through difficult times. Her compassionate approach and professional expertise make her an exceptional therapist who can help you navigate even the most challenging relationship issues."

"I have been here for about a month and while I have previously had therapy, I needed to start again after reevaluating my life choices. The ability to choose a therapist that has matched my need and ability to research a bit about them has been helpful, as well as the ability to have a 1 on 1 video call as well. I am slowly building the structure I need to get out of the pits I have dug for myself from neglecting my own mental health and physical well being."
