Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get OCD therapy online in Sarnia?

Yes. OCD Therapy Online provides online OCD therapy for people in Sarnia and surrounding communities when virtual care is appropriate. Online appointments can be attended from a private location that works for you.

What types of OCD can online therapy help with?

OCD can involve many different themes and patterns, including contamination concerns, checking, relationship doubts, harm fears, intrusive thoughts, reassurance seeking, and mental compulsions. Therapy focuses on the OCD process rather than requiring everyone to have the same symptoms.

Is online OCD therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Research supports internet-delivered and therapist-supported approaches for OCD, although the appropriate format depends on the individual and the care being provided. A discussion about your circumstances can help determine whether online therapy is suitable.

Do I need a diagnosis before starting OCD therapy?

You do not necessarily need to arrive with a formal diagnosis simply to ask questions about your concerns. An appropriate assessment or consultation can help clarify whether the patterns you are experiencing are consistent with OCD and what kind of support may be appropriate.

How much does OCD therapy cost?

Fees can depend on the provider, appointment length, and other factors. OCD Therapy Online does not publish a general average here, so contact the service for current fees and payment information.

Can I attend online OCD therapy from Petrolia or other Lambton County towns?

The service area includes Sarnia and surrounding communities in Lambton County, including Petrolia, Point Edward, Bright's Grove, Corunna, Wyoming, Forest, Grand Bend, Watford, Alvinston, Oil Springs, and Courtright. Eligibility for virtual care can depend on your location and the requirements that apply to the service.

What if I am not sure whether what I experience is OCD?

That is a reasonable place to start. You can describe the thoughts, urges, doubts, routines, or behaviours that are causing difficulty and ask whether OCD-focused support may be appropriate.

What should I expect from my first online appointment?

The first appointment generally provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, history, goals, and the patterns you want to change. You can also ask questions about the approach and what ongoing therapy would look like.
