Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be a debilitating and exhausting mental health issue.

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been through several randomized-controlled trials and is gaining in popularity around the world as treatment for OCD. I-CBT helps you learn HOW you are getting tricked by OCD and WHY it is okay to no longer listen to it. I-CBT does not use exposure as an element to therapy. 

I-CBT is the treatment model I use most for OCD. However, I strongly believe that clients should be in charge of their treatment, and I ultimately leave the choice of modality up to the client and the client's needs/wishes for treatment.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has a long, well-researched history as a treatment for OCD. It is the most well-known treatment in the US and focuses on exposing oneself to the situations that cause fear/disgust. In ERP, you learn that you can tolerate distress and let it fade with time and break the cycle of compulsions (which help drive the continuation of OCD and keep you coming back to it over and over again).
