Everest and make it back safely often hire a highly skilled guide—frequently one of the famous indigenous people, the Sherpas—to help them find their way and carry some of the baggage. Here, if your daily life is feeling like a long, hard climb up a steep mountain, similar assistance is available in the form of therapists such as myself, who have made that climb hundreds of times, know the way, and are experienced handlers of baggage. If you need a skilled companion, I would be honored to join your expedition. Read more

Common approaches to Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT)

Leaf Seperator

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 Salem 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 Salem, 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.

Tim is an awesome listener! He remembers conversations that we've had and will bring them up as a gage to of the progress I've made. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering therapy!

Flexibility for evening and weekends was really important to me seeking out therapy. The availability alone for Timothy was a positive for keeping him as my provider, in addition to the understanding he has for allowing me to express feelings and opinions at my workplace which is the primary stressor as an educator.

Lisa is really thoughtful and has such great information.. She has helped me extremely well although I don't think that sentence is synthetically correct.

I have had difficulty finding a therapist I clicked with in the past. They were either too afraid of losing clients or they'd promote unhealthy coping mechanisms. This was my first time going to a therapist where it felt like I was working with a professional who knew what he was doing and had the resources and know-how to help. It's been an extremely helpful experience over the last two years- I don't know if I'd be in the place I'm at without it

Lisa is amazing. She takes the time to listen and makes me feel as though I can share anything with her. She knows how to take it in and approach the matter without making me feel less than or worse for sharing. Plus she is extremely knowledgeable. . The only thing I would like to see, and this has nothing to do with Lisa, would be like sick time or something I could build or have for times something would come up and i couldn't make an appointment. I understand this can't be an option for all, but if you have been with the program for a year plus and have weekly meetings that you do make it to, I just feel as though the program should beable to work with you if you show that you are serious about it. That's all. Thank you. -Kevin
