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.

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.
