Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) FAQs

What is OCD counseling?

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.

How does OCD counseling work?

In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Worcester therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.

Is OCD counseling conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks OCD counseling in Worcester, MA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does OCD counseling last?

The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.

Christina is great, she really listens and I feel like we click well. She makes me feel comfortable about opening up and exploring my feelings. I don't open up easily, and I feel like I can be honest with her. She also understands how hard it can be for an older man to deal with his feelings, which definitely helps. She asks thought provoking questions, and offers excellent perspectives. She's making a difficult process for me a more pleasant and rewarding experience.

The extensive professional and broader life experiences shared by my Clinician are extremely valuable. His precise recall of conversations, relationship dynamics, and stories I have shared are very much appreciated. Our sessions are consistently held timely and include thorough analysis.
