Therapist for OCD: online OCD counsellors

A formal OCD assessment is done by a psychiatrist or a clinical psychologist. A counselor can help you understand the patterns you notice, work on them with you, and suggest an assessment if it seems useful.

Only what you are ready to share. Intrusive thoughts are common in OCD, and a counselor who works with it has heard them before. You set the pace.

Many people use both. Counseling focuses on the thoughts and rituals themselves and how you respond to them. Keep your doctor in the loop about any change to medication.

You talk about what the thoughts and rituals look like on a normal day and what you want to change. You decide whether to book again.

On Leshya, look for counselors who list ocd among the areas they work with, and read how each one describes their approach. You can filter by the language you speak and the price that suits you. If the first counselor is not the right fit, you can choose someone else.
