What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that cause distress, and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to reduce that distress. OCD can take many forms and affects people differently. It's more than being neat or organized—it involves distressing patterns that can significantly impact daily life.
Who might benefit from OCD therapy?
Therapy can benefit anyone experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviours that cause distress or interfere with daily life. You don't need a formal diagnosis to seek support. If you find yourself caught in cycles of obsessive thinking and ritualistic behaviours, working with a therapist experienced in OCD can help you understand and manage these patterns.
What's it like to work on OCD in therapy?
Therapy for OCD often involves learning about how OCD works and developing strategies to respond differently to intrusive thoughts. Your therapist may use specialized approaches designed for OCD. Sessions typically involve both discussion and practical exercises. The pace is collaborative, and your therapist will work with you at a level that feels manageable.
How long does OCD therapy typically take?
The duration varies depending on the severity of symptoms and individual circumstances. Some people experience meaningful improvement in several months, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist can help you understand what to expect and track progress over time. Therapy proceeds at a pace that works for you.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
Finding a therapist experienced with OCD is important. On First Session, you can watch intro videos to learn about each therapist's approach and experience. This helps you find someone who understands OCD and whose style feels comfortable to you before booking your first session.
How do I book a session?
Browse therapists on First Session who work with OCD. Watch their intro videos to find someone whose approach resonates with you. When you're ready, book your first session directly online and choose between virtual or in-person appointments.
