Evidence-Based OCD Treatment
Relationship OCD Therapy in Indianapolis
Relationship OCD (ROCD) can create constant doubt, anxiety, and mental checking within romantic relationships. At Sommer Psychology Group, we provide evidence-based therapy for Relationship OCD, helping clients reduce obsessive doubts about relationships, decrease reassurance-seeking and overthinking, and build healthier, more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.
Relationship OCD involves intrusive thoughts, fears, or doubts related to romantic relationships, attraction, compatibility, commitment, or feelings toward a partner. Individuals with ROCD may constantly question whether they truly love their partner, whether the relationship is “right,” whether they are attracted enough, or whether they should leave the relationship despite deeply caring about their partner.
Many people with Relationship OCD experience compulsive behaviors such as seeking reassurance from friends, family, therapists, or online forums, mentally reviewing interactions, comparing relationships, checking feelings, analyzing attraction, confessing thoughts to a partner, or repeatedly researching relationship advice. These compulsions are often attempts to gain certainty or relief from anxiety, but they typically reinforce the obsessive cycle over time.
Relationship OCD can feel incredibly confusing because the intrusive doubts often target what matters most to a person—their relationships, values, and future. While the fears may feel urgent and convincing, the constant analyzing and compulsive checking often make it even harder to feel emotionally connected or certain.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Treatment focuses on helping clients better understand obsessive doubt, reduce compulsive relationship behaviors, challenge fear-based reasoning patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to uncertainty and intrusive thoughts without relying on reassurance or compulsions.
We offer Relationship OCD therapy in Indianapolis and secure online OCD therapy across Indiana.
