Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment in orem, Utah
Find relief from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors with specialized, evidence-based OCD treatment at Utah Therapy Works.
What is Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition involving persistent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) meant to reduce distress. These patterns can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and extremely difficult to control without support.
At Utah Therapy Works in Orem, Utah, we offer compassionate, highly effective treatment designed to break the OCD cycle for good.
Common symptoms of OCD
OCD shows up differently for everyone. Here are some of the most common signs:
Evidence-based OCD treatment options
We use the most effective, research-backed treatments available for OCD.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is the gold standard treatment for OCD. You learn to face fears gradually while resisting the urge to perform compulsions — leading to long-term freedom.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps change unhelpful patterns and beliefs that fuel obsessions, creating healthier responses and reducing anxiety.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches powerful strategies for managing intrusive thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback helps retrain the brain’s electrical activity, improving focus, emotional regulation, and obsessive thought patterns. This non-invasive treatment supports the brain in learning calmer, healthier responses to triggers and intrusive thoughts.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood and thought regulation. For individuals who haven’t found full relief through therapy alone, TMS can significantly reduce OCD symptoms and improve overall functioning.
Teen & child OCD Support
OCD in children and teens can appear as excessive worry, rituals, reassurance-seeking, or fears they feel embarrassed to discuss. Our therapists specialize in developmentally appropriate treatment methods, helping young people build confidence, resilience, and skills to manage OCD effectively.

Frequently Asked questions
Many clients see major progress within 8–16 sessions using ERP and CBT.
Yes. We offer therapy for all ages and tailor the approach appropriately.
No — intrusive thoughts are a symptom of OCD, not a reflection of who you are.
Not everyone with OCD needs medication. Many clients find success with therapy alone, especially ERP. However, some individuals benefit from combining therapy with SSRIs, which can reduce anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Your therapist can help you decide what’s right for you.
