Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) in Portland

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 Portland 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 Portland, ME 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 am extremely happy with my therapist. Hopefully that is somewhat obvious as I have now been a patient of his/yours for a few years now. . Justin Michaud is fantastic, a true professional. . If he were to leave Thriveworks, unfortunately you'd probably lose me as a customer as I would not want to start over with someone new. . Take care of this provider he is a good one!

I enthusiastically recommend Justin to anyone seeking therapy. I was genuinely surprised by how effective Thriveworks has been for me, and Justin has been the cornerstone of that success. He brings a rare combination of intelligence, compassion, and adaptability to each session. His ability to truly listen, offer thoughtful insights, and meet me where I'm at—especially over Zoom—is impressive. I've worked with other therapists in the past, but none have made me feel as safe, understood, and empowered as Justin has. I'm truly grateful to have him in my corner. He's not just helping me through difficult times—he's helping me grow
