Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) FAQs

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.

My therapist Justin is a lifesaver - truly. Ive been through some tough times while seeing him and he always knows exactly what to say to reframe my perspective and get me through my hardest moments. He gives me tools I can use when he's not around to help me navigate life, and its so obvious the moment you meet him that he truly cares about about his patients, and it shows through his work. I would take a bullet for that man because he has saved my life, probably on multiple occasions, so returning the favor would be the least I could do. You've got one of those really special employees that don't come around very often - i hope you do everything in your power to keep him as happy as he keeps his patience. Thank you for everything, Justin and Thriveworks.

I adore Doreen. She has helped me so much in the past and is so empathetic and understanding yet gives me information I may not necessarily want to hear, but need to hear. She is a Godsend to me.

I've been with Doreen a few years now and I've enjoyed each session very much. She's a wonderful therapist and I can't imagine working through life's journey with anyone else but her. She's direct and to the point, which is something I was looking for.
