“A flare-up doesn’t mean you’ve lost progress — it means your brain is reacting to something, like stress, uncertainty, or a trigger. Using your tools, even in small ways, is still progress. And if you're in therapy, this is a great time to revisit those strategies with support.”

– Brandy Chalmers, LPC

“In people with OCD, sensory sensitivities can trigger obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. However, with the right treatment, like exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, it’s possible to break the cycle and learn to tolerate these sensations without reacting. Over time, this can help reduce the intensity of both sensory sensitivities and obsessive thinking.”

“OCD can make you feel like there’s only one ‘right’ way to think or act, and anything else feels unsafe or wrong. Recognizing this is the first step. With the right support, you can learn to challenge these thoughts and find more balance.”

Common FAQs

How to find the right therapist in Durham, NC

When choosing a therapist in Durham, NC, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.

How soon can I meet with a therapist?

Therapists in Rula’s network are available to meet as soon as tomorrow.

What should I consider when choosing a therapist?

It depends on your personal preferences and goals. Whether you’re seeking a therapist who specializes in certain mental health conditions, shares your ethnic background, or is available to meet at your preferred time, Rula makes it easy to search and filter by what matters most to you. If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure? Learn more about the differences between therapy and psychiatry to learn more about the differences.
