ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the gold standard treatment for OCD. It involves gradually facing feared situations while learning to resist compulsive behaviors, which reduces OCD symptoms over time.
Can OCD be treated online?

Most people see significant improvement within 12-20 sessions of ERP therapy. Some experience relief within the first few weeks.
