Starting Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapy (OCDT) in Shreveport

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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport, LA 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.

Andrew is amazing. He listens very well and even though I talk really fast and throw a lot of information at him, he is very tentative, thoughtful and takes as many notes as possible. I'm very excited for my next session!

Ella Bradford is my therapist and I could not be any more blessed and fortunate. She is amazing and there was a connection from the start with us. I look forward to our sessions together because there is not anything that I won't share with her. She has worked me through so many of my issues and continues to give her all to me to help me alleviate and improve my anxiety, depression and self destructive behavior. Many times she will email me with these enlightening articles that are relevant to our time together that day. I was overwhelmed that she would take the time to do this . I read them through and then we discuss what I have read at the next session. I have had other therapists and there is not one that has helped me as well as Ella. It is a gift to me that I am fortunate enough to have been teamed up with her. There is something to be said when you have a therapist that you can tell everything to and especially information that I have never shared with any one else. It is therapeutic and I look forward to our scheduled times together because it is very special when I can discuss any issue, problem, embarrassment, or past destructive behavior and she gets me through all of it.

I appreciate the statements which point out that I am NOT the only clueless dude around, but share mistaken beliefs with others.
