What Is OCD Therapy and How Does It Work?

What Causes OCD?
OCD research shows that obsessive-compulsive disorder affects about 1–3% of people throughout their lives. Obsessive-compulsive disorder often comes from a combination of genetics, brain chemistry, and life experiences. Stressful events or significant changes can exacerbate symptoms.
Is OCD Genetic?
OCD has a genetic component, but it is not purely inherited. Research shows that around 4–8% of people with relatives who have OCD also develop the disorder. If you have a close family member with OCD, your risk is higher, but it’s not guaranteed.
What Are Common OCD Symptoms?
Symptoms of OCD fall into two groups: obsessions and compulsions. You might have one type or both. Some typical signs include:
- Recurring unwanted thoughts or images
- Fear of germs or worry about causing harm
- Strong urges to check things, arrange objects, or repeat actions
- Mental rituals like counting or replaying events in your head
- Intense discomfort when things feel wrong or incomplete
- Asking other people for reassurance again and again
Types of OCD
- Checking OCD: Fear of danger or mistakes makes you check things repeatedly.
- Contamination OCD: Fear of germs or spreading illness controls behavior.
- Pure “O” OCD: Intrusive thoughts against your values that cause distress.
- Relationship OCD: Constant doubts about your partner or bond create panic.
- Ordering/Symmetry OCD: An intense need for things arranged in specific ways.
- Hoarding: Extreme difficulty throwing things away, as it causes emotional pain.
OCD Treatment Methods We Use
Several proven approaches help reduce OCD symptoms when used together or on their own. Your treatment plan will combine the methods that work best for your situation.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP means you face feared thoughts or situations slowly while you resist compulsions. Your brain learns over time that anxiety can ease on its own with healthier coping.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
With CBT, you learn to notice harmful thought patterns that feed obsessions and compulsions. You learn sustainable ways to respond to disturbing thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
During DBT sessions, you are taught skills to handle intense emotions and rebuild broken relationships. This helps when anxiety spikes during exposure work.
OCD Medication
SSRIs can reduce how strong and frequent your obsessions and compulsions are. If deemed necessary, we provide medication management to complement therapies.

FAQs
Is OCD an anxiety disorder?
OCD is closely related to anxiety disorders, but has its own classification. Anxiety usually increases during obsessions or when you try not to do compulsions.
OCD and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder: what’s the difference?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves intrusive thoughts and compulsions you can’t control. OCPD is a personality pattern focused on rules, order, and perfectionism.
How do you get an OCD diagnosis?
There is no single test for OCD. A clinician does a structured assessment, reviews your symptoms, and decides if they meet OCD criteria.
Can OCD symptoms get worse over time?
Yes, especially without treatment. Stress makes symptoms more intense. Getting help early prevents symptoms from taking over more of your life.
