Therapy for OCD: why Calmerry stands out
Our specialists employ evidence-based techniques like:
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP therapy) — a strategy that helps you face your fears and not feel the purpose of doing repeated actions.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps to identify negative thought patterns and behaviors.
- Mindfulness techniques to handle unwanted thoughts more effectively.
We address the root causes of your OCD, helping you understand triggers and develop coping mechanisms. Calmerry offers comprehensive care for lasting relief.
OCD is not just about being overly clean or tidy. It’s a serious condition. Our therapists understand its nuances and offer strategies tailored to your obsession and compulsion symptoms.
We understand and address the nuances of OCD, such as:
- Checking and rechecking
- Fear of contamination
- Focus on symmetry and orderliness

Calmerry vs. traditional in-office therapy
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I treat OCD online?
Absolutely. People with this condition can be effectively treated through virtual sessions. Studies have shown that counseling can provide results comparable to traditional in-person appointments for many individuals.
Platforms like Calmerry provide licensed therapists who are trained in evidence-based techniques for OCD treatment.
What techniques are commonly used in OCD treatment?
There is no unique solution since everyone experiences this condition differently, but here are some of the best treatment options:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you identify and conquer negative thinking but also act as a coping mechanism.
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) slowly exposes the worst fears without allowing one to perform compulsive rituals.
- Mindfulness and relaxation techniques can teach you to manage anxiety and stress that frequently coincide with anxiety disorder.
- Habit Reversal Training is especially useful for physical compulsions (for example, skin picking)
How long does therapy for OCD typically last?
It is hard to say how long the counseling lasts because everyone's journey is different. Some people may feel better after a couple of months, while others may require long-term care. It simply depends on how severe your condition is and how you respond to treatment.
Can OCD treatment be used with medication?
Yes, it can. Sometimes, a combination of psychotherapy and medication proves to be a more effective treatment.
Be sure to talk with a psychiatrist or primary care provider about whether this medication approach is right for you, and manage care with the specialist.
Does insurance cover my treatment?
While insurance doesn't currently cover therapy meetings with our specialists, we're actively working on it. In the meantime, you can join our OCD community to stay tuned for updates.
How can I start OCD online therapy?
Starting psychotherapy is straightforward. In Calmerry’s case, the process would look as follows:
- After signing up, complete a short survey about your needs and concerns.
- Once you complete your survey and activate the subscription, we'll connect you with the best-fit counselor based on your input. This process usually takes up to 24 hours.
- When you're eventually matched, you and your counselor will discuss your expectations in more detail. This intake meeting will help your counselor devise a personalized therapy plan.
- After the first meeting, it’s all about consistent engagement with appointments and assigned tasks until you achieve the desired results.

What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental health condition that may affect your mood, personality, and behavior. The most common symptoms of OCD may include intrusive thoughts or images.

Who Can Benefit from OCD Counseling?
- Individuals experiencing persistent obsessions and compulsions.
- Someone whose daily life, work, or relationships are affected by these thoughts or urges.
- People seeking tools to manage anxiety and intrusive thoughts better.
