What makes NOCD Therapy different

At NOCD, we’re committed to transforming OCD treatment—because for too long, people haven’t received the care they actually need. OCD is frequently misdiagnosed or misunderstood, with many people receiving talk therapy or generalized approaches that aren’t designed for OCD at all. That often leads to more confusion, more suffering, and little to no progress. NOCD Therapy was built to change that. Our approach is rooted in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy—the most effective treatment for OCD—and is delivered virtually by therapists who are specialty-trained in treating this condition. It’s supported by ongoing support and digital tools that help people stay on track between sessions, making care more accessible and clinically effective. It’s made to be effective, convenient, and affordable. And peer-reviewed research shows it can help people get better, faster.

No offense and all but that makes "NOCD therapy" different from any other OCD therapist employing ERP (virtually or in person)...how exactly? Because "What makes NOCD Therapy different" is very literally saying that *NOCD* therapy specifically is unique. Perhaps a change of title to "What makes ERP therapy different"? If that's what was meant

@Anonymous The difference is mentioned in the post: the additional means of ongoing support and digital tools that help people stay on track between sessions, so, for example, the social feed, the “points”, the group video sessions, the SOS feature and journal.

@SinkingCloud Do you mean the blog post? Because I was referring to this specific post, not the additional link. In the post, they say nothing about that, maybe that'd be a great addition to have in the actual post. Also, as someone who has been treated by NOCD, I fail to see how social feeds and "point systems", from their examples, can "get me better faster", they may be good tools for some, and the group sessions are great and the SOS feature may also help some in crisis (though it's personally never helped me much), I think the wording could be adjusted

@Anonymous Yes, the blog post says “It’s supported by ongoing support and digital tools that help people stay on track between sessions”.

@SinkingCloud Ok, understood, I was just referring to the app's post

@Anonymous Yes, the post directly above our comments on the app reads:“It’s supported by ongoing support and digital tools that help people stay on track between sessions”.

@SinkingCloud Ah, right, in my original comment I was referring directly to NOCD's ERP techniques, as in therapy directly done with a NOCD therapist, I don't find NOCD's tools its "therapy". I'd misunderstood what you said in your original reply, apologies for that.

@Anonymous Yes, the other tools in the app are “support” for the therapy, and it is referred to as such

@SinkingCloud Yes, "*support* for the therapy" I understand that. I'm referring to its therapy ALONE, since the title is "NOCD's THERAPY" I'm not asking about tools or anything supplemental. I'll make it clearer now then if it wasn't- I am and was asking about ERP directed by NOCD's therapists because that's what "NOCD therapy" implies, "NOCD therapy and its tools" would have been a little clearer. That's all.
