At Lifebulb, we offer a range of effective anxiety treatments tailored to each individual's needs. All of our Allentown anxiety therapists use only methods that have been proven by science to be effective. Many therapists will choose to use a combination of techniques to give you the best treatment possible. These treatments include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thinking patterns and behaviors. It is highly effective in managing anxiety and has a success rate of up to 80%. During CBT, you will learn to identify untrue, negative thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with positive, true patterns. It is great for people who experience the anxiety symptoms of overthinking, rumination, and doom spiraling.

Exposure therapy involves gradually exposing individuals to their fears or triggers in a safe and controlled environment, helping to desensitize the fear response. It is particularly effective for treating phobias and has a success rate of up to 90%. This method is best for people with specific phobias or social anxiety. Therapists may also use mental visualization to confront fears that cannot be confronted in person.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to avoid them. By embracing mindfulness and values-based living, ACT can be very effective in managing anxiety. ACT is also a value-based therapy approach and will ask you to act upon your values instead of your anxieties.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy involves being present in the moment and learning to observe and accept one's thoughts and feelings without judgment. It can be an effective tool in managing anxiety. The skills it provides can help you long after you stop needing therapy. Whenever an anxious thought arrives, mindfulness can help calm it and center your mind.
