What Is OCD?
OCD is a chronic anxiety disorder characterized by:
-
Obsessions – unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that cause distress (e.g., fear of contamination, fears of harm, religious or moral obsessions)
-
Compulsions – repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to relieve the anxiety caused by the obsessions (e.g., excessive handwashing, checking, counting, reassurance-seeking)
You may recognize that your fears are irrational, but still feel powerless to stop the rituals. This internal conflict is a hallmark of OCD—and it’s treatable.
Common OCD Symptoms
OCD can take many forms, but often includes:
Fear of germs or contamination
Religious or moral scrupulosity
Excessive checking (locks, stoves, doors)
Intrusive unwanted
thoughts
Need for symmetry or exactness
Repetitive rituals or mental acts
Without treatment, OCD can escalate and affect every area of life—including work, school, parenting, and relationships.
Our Approach to OCD Counseling
At Insight Counseling Fort Wayne, we treat OCD using evidence-based practices tailored to your unique symptoms and needs. Therapy isn’t about “stopping” your thoughts—it’s about changing your relationship with them and reducing the power they hold.
Our methods include:
-
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT): Learn to tolerate the emotions that are often driving the preoccupation with obsessions and/or compulsions
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you reframe distorted thinking patterns that reinforce obsessive fears
-
Mindfulness & Distress Tolerance: Teaches you to observe intrusive thoughts without reacting to them
-
Family Involvement (when needed): Helps reduce accommodation behaviors and increase support at home
Whether you’ve struggled with OCD for years or recently received a diagnosis, we create a treatment plan that is empowering, respectful, and effective.
Who Can Benefit from OCD Counseling?
OCD therapy is helpful for young adults and adults who:
-
Feel controlled by intrusive thoughts or urges
-
Spend significant time doing rituals or mental checking
-
Feel ashamed, isolated, or exhausted by their behaviors
