Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)


Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a treatment model for OCD that can be a great fit for clients looking for a specialized, logic-based approach to OCD that doesn't rely on exposures.

Overcoming OCD by Trusting Your Senses

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed specifically for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Unlike traditional approaches that focus on changing how you react to an obsession, I-CBT looks at how the obsession starts in the first place.

OCD tricks you into believing an "obsessional doubt" (e.g., "Maybe the stove is still on") based on imagination and "what-ifs," completely ignoring the reality right in front of your eyes. In I-CBT, we will work together to dissect the faulty logic behind these doubts. You will learn to recognize when your mind is spinning an imaginary tale, ground yourself in your actual senses, and regain confidence in your own reality—allowing you to dismiss OCD doubts without needing to perform compulsions
