Common approaches to Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT)

Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) in Sterling Heights

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 Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights, MI 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.

Darlita is very thorough and professional. She follows up on issues that even I forgot we previously discussed. Best thing is I can tell she sincerely cares about my progress.

My therapist has been nothing but supportive and helpful and this is the first time that I feel like I've been able to actually work through things and I appreciated the representative that helped me find a therapist and really did listen to what my needs were to best find someone who would fit my schedule, but also personality wise I feel like they did a good job with that as well

Besides discussing about what triggers my anxiety or depression, I appreciate that I can just talk and share things without feeling guilty for just talking. I always felt like I bother people for talking or that I'm talking to much and no one is interested. But with my therapist, I do not feel guilty or feel like I'm annoying someone for talking/rambling. So because of that freedom and with the support I get from my therapist about handling my trauma, I always look forward to my sessions.

Her continued opinion/fact based advice and questions.. Previous counselors usually just sat and listened and sometimes question but won't give an opinion.. I appreciate the opinion of a trained and schooled counselor. Especially based on the age difference between my counselor and myself. Modern perspectives are important to me in order to relate with younger persons of either sex.
