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 Chesapeake 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 Chesapeake, VA 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.

I have been in and out of therapy for decades until I came to Thriveworks and got placed with my current therapist. Over the past year and a half, she has changed my life in so many positive ways there aren't enough words to describe it.

My provider, Tami is very knowledgeable and experienced. I appreciate her willingness to fit me in during difficult times. I'm becoming a more aware woman through understanding. I love the convenience of telehealth. With my mental health diagnosis, at times it's hard to leave my house .

Alise is wonderful. She is a fantastic listener and her empathy is felt in each of our meetings. She is patient with me even when I realize I'm rambling on. I like that she is direct and forthright. I definitely need that…. I feel once we've met that a load is off of my shoulders and heart… My mind is at ease.. at least for a while. She gives me plans and activities that help me in a tremendous way. I greatly appreciate her and would recommend her. I know with her counseling I'm getting better soon.
