Online Therapy for OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
The never-ending loop that makes you feel like you can’t turn your brain off.
Living with OCD can feel like you’re stuck in a frustrating loop. Obsessive thoughts pop in without warning and feel impossible to ignore. These are often distressing, unwanted, and repetitive—like mental intruders that demand your full attention. To quiet the discomfort, you might engage in rituals or routines (compulsions), either in your head or through specific behaviors. And the relief they bring? It's usually short-lived, which just keeps the cycle going.
This is not about “liking things neat” or being “quirky.” It’s about fear, control, and the exhausting pressure to prevent something bad from happening—even when you know your thoughts might not make sense. That internal “OCD voice” can be convincing, scary, and relentless. And trying to logic your way out? Doesn’t usually help much.
OCD isn’t your fault—and it’s absolutely treatable. In therapy, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—a research-backed therapy specifically for OCD—along with CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help you interrupt the loop and respond to your thoughts in new ways. You’ll never be pushed to do anything you're not ready for. We’ll move at a pace that honors your nervous system and your goals.
Whether you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts about harm, contamination, order, identity, morality, or something that feels “too weird to say out loud” - you are not alone. And you are not broken.
We’ll work together to loosen OCD’s grip and help you reclaim your time, your peace, and your sense of self. Online therapy makes it easy to start from wherever you are in North Carolina—whether you’re in Greensboro, Elon, Winston-Salem, or curled up on your couch at home.
