oVRcome helps get your phobias and anxieties under control, so you can live a happier, healthier, more relaxed life. Developed by clinical psychologists, it delivers safe, effective, and quick results with guided VR exposure therapy and coping strategies.
Why download oVRcome?
If you have a phobia that stops you living life the way you want to, oVRcome makes it easy for you to learn powerful skills that help manage your reactions and lessen that heart-beaty, stomach-churny feeling you get when you’re terrified of something.
Once you’ve mastered some skills you can use to calm yourself down when you’re anxious, you’re guided into exposure therapy - the global gold standard in treating phobias. This means, you’ll be in an immersive environment with your fears, but they can’t harm you because they’re not actually there. Now you can practice calming down and conquer your fears in the privacy, convenience, and comfort of your own home!
oVRcome can be accessed via a subscription that is a fraction of the cost that you would spend visiting a clinician in real life. Whether it’s a fear of spiders you feel is becoming more obvious, or worries about how to talk to people and be appropriately social; oVRcome can help bring more calm into your life. Working on your mental health can be difficult because psychologists, therapists, and counsellors can be very expensive. They also often have waiting lists a mile long. With oVRcome, you’ll be guided to positive, permanent change at a minimal cost.
oVRcome has been developed in a clinical setting, backed by a robust body of academically accepted, evidence based, peer reviewed literature. It encapsulates the inner workings of psychological theory and proven methodology, delivered in a user friendly, intuitive, and calming package. Best of all, oVRcome is immediately accessible through the convenience, familiarity, and simplicity of your smartphone.

I tried this before and it did not help one bit in fact it made it worse, but I thought I should give it a second try and it also did not work I regret spending $300 on this app. A week later I was talking to my coworkers who were also using this app and they all say it’s a terrible app and that’s why it says your rated 2.8 stars on the Apple App Store. Hated that experience and will definitely not recommend.

Fear of mountain driving
blueridge;68;
The bottom line is that this VR app worked for me. It empowered me to overcome a late-in-life fear of driving on mountain roads. I drove mountain roads in Pennsylvania on an average of 3,000 miles per year over a period of 25 years without any anxiety. Then, in 2023, I climbed up to the (Anasazi) Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde, Colorado and came close to having a panic attack. I tried but was unable to drive the main road out of the park as the high elevation overlooks visible around the curves was unnerving. Thereafter, I experienced anxiety on any road or highway that entailed long views and drop offs - this included Interstate highways equipped with guardrails. This anxiety continued even when I was a passenger. I began using this App in May of this year for a period of four months. In September, during a visit to New Mexico, I experienced no anxiety on some of the mountain roads but I wasn't fully convinced of the success of the oVRcome program. So, last week (November) I decided to test it. The mountain road I chose turned out to be very narrow with non-stop hairpin curves and switchbacks, steep drop offs, no berms and no guard rails. I drove about 4 miles and then 4 miles back down. My anxiety did increase over the drive but at no time did I have the unrelenting feeling that I was powerless to keep from driving off the road and over the cliff. This is why I say oVRcome worked for me. I credit my success to its combined education, especially on self-talk and breathing which I employed while driving, with the VR videos that must have worked on my subconscious mind. One last comment: be persistent in your use of the app. Oh, and don't climb up to see the Cliff Palace.
Fantastic

I am using oVRcome to help with my fear of heights. I am extremely pleased with my results. After working through the first 4 modules I learned about my fears and how they produced physical responses. These modules helped me understand about the fear and provided me with techniques I could use to help me cope with the fear. Then the module using the VR headset allowed me to practice using these techniques. I was amazed at the results. I was able to use the VR simulation of mountain climbing and view the spectacular scenes from this height. There are many simulations and I continue to work through them. I am using these same techniques with my fitness programs that have scenes with very high vistas (even outer space) and I am able to remain calm and enjoy the surroundings. Before using oVRcome I panicked whenever I encountered one of these vistas and had to shut down the fitness program. The oVRcome app is helping this 66 year old manage her fear of heights as well as helping me to use fitness programs that are helping to improve my physical well being.

The app is amazing it has truly helped my social phobia. I used it before going to a work party at a bar and I ended up having a great time. The loading time is kinda slow. Instead of opening right up it takes about 15 seconds and I found it is best to download the vr clips to my phone to help with buffering issues when streaming but it is still worth 5 stars to me because of how much it has helped me. It’s important to start with the least anxious videos before progressing so you are willing to practice it and progress. Also I really like how some of the videos have a coach talking you through the situation which you can turn off when you are ready. I would really like to see it work with the meta quest with possibly a meta quest app instead of my iPhone sliding into a vr headset. Other than that I am so thankful this is available! I haven’t found anything else like it!
