Teletherapy, or online therapy, allows patients to connect with certified mental health therapists through secure audio or video communications. In other words, it provides you with a safe, easy, and accessible alternative to in-person sessions.

Anxiety & OCD: Understanding What You’re Up Against
Have the simplest tasks started to feel overwhelming? Maybe small things make you anxious, or you feel alone and helpless, avoiding socializing or going out altogether.
If this sounds familiar, you might be dealing with anxiety or OCD. These conditions can make everyday life feel like a minefield but understanding what you’re going through is the first step towards feeling better.
Both anxiety and OCD can feel like they’re hijacking your mind. Anxiety is a mental disorder that obsesses you with uncontrollable feelings of anxiety and fear.
It can bring intense worry, panic, or dread over daily activities as well as physical symptoms like restlessness, irritability, fatigue, rapid heart rate, and chest or abdominal pain.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), on the other hand, is uncontrollable, typically with recurring thoughts or mental images that prompts the person to engage in repetitive mental or physical behaviors (to release stress) or sometimes both.
While anxiety might look like avoidance and endless worry, OCD often appears as rituals, checking, and compulsions to “just make sure” everything feels safe. What genuinely concerning to note is that OCD affects approximately 2% of the population!
But here’s the thing: both can be managed effectively. With the right support, you can take back control. Let’s learn in detail.

Therapy Approaches For Anxiety and OCD That Work
Anxiety and OCD may feel like lifelong struggles, but therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can change.
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT is one of the most effective and commonly used therapies to treat anxiety disorders, OCD, and depression. As the name suggests, CBT is a form of talk therapy that aims to manage your current challenges by reshaping how you think about and approach your problems.
It helps you identify, question, and change the negative thought patterns that drive anxiety and compulsive behaviors.
With guidance from a certified therapist, you essentially receive “mind training” to challenge irrational thoughts and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives.
Over time, your brain starts to rewire, making it easier to approach life’s challenges without getting caught in anxious spirals. Remarkably, about 74% of people struggling with anxiety have achieved symptom remission through CBT. If you’re ready to explore how CBT can help you, reach out and contact us today .
2. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP):
ERP, a specialized form of CBT, which we can say is the gold standard for treating OCD. The concept sounds intense, but it’s actually very empowering: by gradually exposing you to your fears (with the guidance of a trained therapist).
In this therapy, the therapist encourages you to confront your fears and anxieties instead of putting them on your nerves or normalizing them with compulsions.
ERP aims to make you lose OCD by facing fears and letting the obsessive thoughts in your mind. According to a meta-analysis, about two-thirds of the people receiving EPR showed improvement in symptoms, while one-third recovered completely.
