Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) in Watertown

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 Watertown 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 Watertown, 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.

My clinician is super capable and able to flex to my needs depending on what's going on week by week. We have a good report from years of knowing each other, and she doesn't need reminding of my back story or narrative. I really appreciate her thoughtfulness and attention to detail, and ability to call me out or push back on a narrative that she knows may or may not be helpful or reality

Sophia is a great listener and also challenges me by asking questions that make me think about myself and my feelings. She doesn't tell me how I feel or what I should think, but rather gets me to evaluate myself and how I could feel better. . This has helped me look at my situation with a different lens and has helped me form a more positive mindset. I really appreciate her style and all the help she has provided to me over the years.

I've always been skeptical of going to therapy, as I went when I was a kid and it didn't work. I started seeing Courtney in June 2024 and I can't thank her enough for how much she has helped me grow. She's with me every step of the way and goes above and beyond for me, even answering emails at all hours when I really need her.
