Claudia Mellott
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, if untreated, tends to get worse as time goes on. Put simply, humans get better at what they practice. If one engages in obsessive thinking, one becomes a better obsessive thinker. Obsessive thinking and/or compulsive actions rob people of much needed time as well as energy. Treatment usually includes a combination of psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT, and anxiety reducing skills such as breathing techniques. Studies show that the most effective results for OCD is a combination of medication and psychotherapy.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I'd help someone with OCD gain insight into their obsessions and compulsions. We'd delve into any emotional baggage or past traumas that could be fueling their OCD symptoms. In therapy, I'd employ effective techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address and modify those obsessive thoughts and behaviors. Additionally, I'd assist them in developing strategies to manage anxiety and stress more effectively. When it comes to relationships, I'd address any challenges arising from their OCD and focus on improving communication and understanding with their partner or loved ones.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can significantly impact someone's life, particularly concerning addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, imagine someone who feels compelled to perform certain rituals or behaviors to alleviate their anxiety. These compulsions can consume a lot of time and energy, making it difficult to maintain healthy relationships or cope with everyday stressors. As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide a supportive environment for the individual to talk about their experiences and struggles. We would work together to develop strategies for managing their OCD symptoms and finding healthier ways to cope with stress and improve their relationships.

Jane Bennett-Elias
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I have worked for many years with clients who have obsessive compulsive disorder. OCD is more than what people sometimes think of when they think of OCD behaviors. Sometimes OCD is about your thought process. I use evidenced based practices to treat OCD, including exposure response prevention (ERP) therapy.
