What Exactly is OCD Counseling?

Cases of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can vary from compulsively washing their hands, to extremely difficult symptoms that cause a severe distress. The four basic types of OCD include checking, contamination, hoarding, and intrusive thoughts – although there are many subtypes. The end result is typically anxiety or stress for the individual. It is characterized by intrusive (unwanted) thoughts that are disconcerting and can prompt ritualistic behavior to ease tension and provide some form of control.

OCD is the fourth most common neurobiological illness, with one in forty adults and one in two hundred children suffering from OCD at some point in their lives.[1]

At Biltmore Psychology and Counseling, our Psychologists help individuals overcome their anxiety related to OCD, help manage their thoughts, and develop other coping skills to help ease the tension that these thoughts can bring.

Common Reason To Seek Treatment of OCD Includes:

  • Cleanliness
  • Repeated self-doubts
  • Order
  • Unwanted sexual thoughts
  • Unwanted aggressive thoughts
  • Uncontrolled worry about work, school, finances, and other life difficulties
  • Repetitive behaviors

OCD Counseling FAQ

Will My Insurance Cover OCD Counseling?

Our office is out-of-network, so we do not accept insurance directly. However, if your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, we can provide you with a receipt so that you can bill your insurance directly.

Depending on the individual insurance plan, many will be reimbursed for a percentage of their payment. To determine if you have out-of-network mental health coverage, contact your insurance and ask about whether your plan includes out-of-network mental health coverage. Feel free to contact our office with any questions.
