Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can disrupt daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety can interfere with work, relationships, and personal well-being. At Darien Wellness, we offer OCD treatment in Boulder, Colorado, through telehealth therapy, providing professional, convenient support to help you manage your symptoms and regain control.
How OCD Affects Daily Life
OCD is more than just being overly neat or organized—it involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive actions (compulsions) meant to reduce distress. Without treatment, these behaviors can consume hours of the day and cause significant anxiety. Common OCD symptoms include:
- Intrusive thoughts – Fear of contamination, harm, or inappropriate urges
- Repetitive behaviors – Excessive handwashing, checking, counting, or arranging objects
- Avoidance – Steering clear of situations that trigger obsessive thoughts
- Mental rituals – Silently repeating words or phrases to prevent perceived harm
How Therapy Helps Manage OCD
At Darien Wellness, our experienced therapists use evidence-based treatments to help individuals manage OCD symptoms, including but not limited to:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – Identifies thought patterns that contribute to OCD and teaches strategies to change them
- Exposure and response prevention (ERP) – Gradually reduces compulsive behaviors by confronting fears in a controlled way
- Mindfulness techniques – Helps manage anxiety and reduce the urge to engage in compulsions
- Medication management – When appropriate, psychiatric professionals can assist with medication options to support therapy
