OCD Therapy in Philadelphia – Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

Evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder — offered via secure telehealth platform

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel exhausting and confusing. Intrusive thoughts, images, urges, or doubts can show up unexpectedly and create intense anxiety — often followed by compulsions, rituals, or mental checking meant to find relief.

At Onward Healing, we help individuals understand OCD and learn how to respond to it in ways that reduce its grip over time — without reassurance, avoidance, or endless “fixing.”

Common OCD Presentations

OCD can involve many themes and presentations, including:

  • Intrusive thoughts or mental images

  • Fear of harm, contamination, or “getting it wrong”

  • “Just right” feelings or urges

  • Mental compulsions (reviewing, checking, analyzing)

  • Repetitive behaviors or rituals

  • Intolerance of uncertainty or doubt

Our Approach to OCD Therapy

At Onward Healing, OCD treatment is:

  • Evidence-based – grounded in ERP and CBT

  • Compassion-focused – not forceful or shaming

  • Mindfulness-informed – learning to notice without engaging

  • Trauma-informed – sensitive to past experiences that may intensify symptoms

  • Individualized – tailored to your specific OCD patterns

We focus on helping you move onward — living a meaningful life alongside uncertainty, rather than waiting for certainty to arrive.

OCD Therapy via Telehealth

OCD therapy is highly effective through telehealth. Online sessions allow ERP to happen in real-life environments where OCD naturally shows up — at home, at work, or in daily routines.

Telehealth therapy is:

  • Secure and HIPAA-compliant

  • Research-supported for OCD treatment

  • Accessible near Philadelphia, PA and across Pennsylvania

  • Often more practical for ERP exercises
