OCD or obsessions can start as a small concern, like a tiny bubble in your mind. But it has the potential to expand your life in a big way. That's why it's important to work with a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders or OCD. At Virtual CBT Psychotherapy, we can pinpoint what behaviours are holding you back. Whether you're struggling with OCD, phobias (e.g. emetophobia, driving anxiety, claustrophobia), generalized anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks, or social anxiety - We're here to help!
Our approach is both efficient and personalized. In as few as six sessions, we aim to help you reclaim your sense of self and equip you with practical tools to manage your anxiety. We aim to get you feeling better quickly while ensuring a thoughtful and compassionate treatment process.
Book a free consultation on our website, and we will match you with one of our anxiety specialists. Our diverse team includes experienced social workers, psychotherapists and psychologists. We also offer psychological assessments with a psychologist.
