10. Summary of project results:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts that cause fear and compulsive behaviors aimed at immediate anxiety relief. These symptoms significantly impact the patient's quality of life, work performance, and ability to maintain social relationships. This study analyzes the core issues related to the mechanisms of OCD symptom formation and maintenance, and implements an online psychological intervention program based on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) techniques, cognitive restructuring, and several anxiety modification techniques suitable for a remote therapy model. The results show that after applying intervention techniques based on CBT and ERP, clients experienced a reduction in obsessive thoughts, decreased compulsive behaviors, and improved quality of life.

11. Practical applications:

Based on the results obtained, the project contributes to affirming that online psychological intervention techniques can be effectively applied in supporting individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially in contexts with time constraints, geographical distance, or difficulties in accessing in-person therapy services. The application of online ERP, combined with cognitive restructuring and progress tracking using assessment tools, shows the potential for significant improvement in obsessive-compulsive symptoms as well as daily functional abilities of clients.

11. Summary of the project results:

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive, fear-provoking obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors performed to reduce anxiety immediately. These symptoms significantly impact an individual's quality of life, work performance, and ability to maintain social relationships. In this study, the author examines the core mechanisms underlying the development and maintenance of OCD symptoms, while implementing an online psychological intervention program based on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), cognitive restructuring, and several anxiety-regulation techniques suitable for remote therapy. The results indicate that the application of CBT- and ERP-based interventions helped the client reduce obsessive thoughts, decrease compulsive behaviors, and improve overall quality of life.

12. Practical implications:

Based on the obtained results, the project strengthens that online psychological interventions can be effectively utilized to support individuals with OCD, especially in contexts where time constraints, geographical distance, or limited access to in-person mental health services pose challenges. The use of online ERP, combined with cognitive restructuring and progress monitoring through standardized assessment tools, demonstrates strong potential in reducing obsessive–compulsive symptoms and improving the client's daily functioning.
