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 Lexington 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 Lexington, 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.

I think it's taken a while for Sue to "get" me but I'm finding that as she does, our sessions are getting more and more helpful. I understand that it does take a while for two people to get to know each other especially in a therapy session.

Celeste seems to genuinely care, which is important to me. She's easy to talk to also.

Esther is the best! I learn so much from her and also feel like I am able to share my unfiltered thoughts and she can help me unpack and navigate how I am feeling. I wish there was a way I could send a “thank you” to Esther - gift card or flowers or something else to show my gratitude.

Maybe accepting state Medicaid. I feel like I’ve had more success with this therapist than any I’ve had over the past 20 years

Thriveworks as a tool to find a provider is fantastic. Virtual therapy is not for everyone and was a hurtle for me. Knowing if there are in person providers would be a great addition.

Esther Schwartz is the most effective therapist I've seen in over two decades of seeing therapists. She both supports me and challenges me to grow.
