Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT)

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 Newton 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 Newton, 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.

Christine is a great therapist that regularly gives me 'brain-expanding' ways of thinking and dealing with anxiety. My anxiety has changed and lessened so significantly since I started seeing her and I always look forward to sessions.

This has been my first time in therapy inspite of years of recognizing I could probably benefit from therapy. I'm sure we all initially come to therapy with our own preconceptions and a sense of 'what should I expect?' I even left my first couple of appointments wondering, 'Did I do that right?' But despite those reservations I immediately felt at ease sharing with Marina. I genuinely don't know how exactly she did it, but she was able to very quickly establish a rapport with me that's allowed me to open up in ways I wasn't sure I'd be able to. I've often finished a session and said to my partner, 'I love therapy'. That sense of being lighter and feeling heard and seen is the part of therapy I've appreciated the most.

Danielle is incredibly helpful in me understanding my diagnosis and recognizing destructive thought patterns. I quite honestly would be in a much worse mental state if I did not have the input and guidance that Danielle has provided. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise when it comes to understanding anxiety and the triggers that may cause it.
