Question 1

How do I choose a therapy approach for OCD?

Accepted Answer

You do not have to pick a method before you reach out. Therapists may use approaches such as ERP or CBT, and you can ask how they would apply theirs to the thoughts or rituals you are dealing with. On Alma, read how therapists in Plano who treat OCD describe their approach and save the ones that make sense to you.

Question 2

Can therapy help with intrusive thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Intrusive thoughts can be distressing, and it can be hard to say them out loud. A licensed professional can listen and talk through how they support clients with thoughts like these. On Alma, find therapists in Plano who treat OCD and read how each one describes their work before you reach out.

Question 3

Do my habits or worries count as OCD?

Accepted Answer

Wondering whether something counts can keep you from reaching out. You do not need to label it first, and a licensed therapist can talk with you about what you are noticing and whether an evaluation makes sense. On Alma, filter therapists in Plano who treat OCD and describe what is going on when you reach out.

Question 4

Do I need medication for OCD, or just therapy?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Will I have work to do between OCD sessions?

Some approaches include practice between sessions, and a therapist can explain what they would ask of you and how they adjust it. On Alma, read how therapists in Plano who treat OCD describe their approach and ask about this up front.
