Online therapy is a great option for busy people who can't make it to therapy appointments. It's also a great option for people who live in rural areas or far from therapy offices. And, it's a great option for people who want to keep their therapy private.
Telehealth has made it simple and easy for counselors and patients to connect from the comfort of their own spaces. No matter where you are in the states of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, or Texas, I can provide my counseling and psychotherapy services to you.
Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized form of cognitive therapy primarily developed to treat Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Unlike traditional CBT, which often focuses on challenging the content of thoughts and reducing compulsions through exposure, I-CBT focuses on how a person arrives at obsessive doubts in the first place.
The Core Idea
I-CBT proposes that OCD begins with a false inference (a mistaken conclusion) rather than a realistic concern.
For example:
- A person touches a clean doorknob.
- There is no actual evidence of contamination.
- OCD creates a doubt: "What if there are dangerous germs on my hands?"
- The person starts treating this imagined possibility as if it were reality.
- Anxiety increases, leading to compulsions such as excessive handwashing.
I-CBT helps individuals recognize when they have left reality-based reasoning and entered what therapists call the "inferential confusion" process—giving more weight to imagined possibilities than to direct evidence.
