Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) in Boston

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 Boston 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 Boston, 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.

Ashley was so helpful and understanding when I needed a same day apt. She placed me with a therapist with an opening that night and she was amazing. I saw Josephine and she truly turned my day around. I'm looking forward to meeting with her again and working on myself!

I love having Melanie as my therapist! She validates how I am feeling about different situations, particularly that the experiences or feelings that I have are normal reactions or responses. She really has helped me process friendship interactions, grief, anxiety and more. I'm thankful I was paired with her!

Carol has been a lifeline for me. She is the most empathetic and informative therapist I have had. She's helped me seek treatment for my eating disorder and helped me navigate my post partum period. There aren't enough words I could use to recommend her.
