We had such an inspiring time at Motivate 2025 this past weekend 💙

Getting to connect with so many amazing attendees, share what we do, and spread the word about accessible, evidence-based mental health care was such a gift.

We loved answering questions about therapy, chatting about all things CBT + ERP, and just being a part of a space that encourages growth, healing, and motivation (see what we did there? 😉).

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi — we’re so grateful to be part of a community that truly cares about mental health.

🎃 With Halloween around the corner... let’s talk clowns.
If they’ve always given you the creeps, you’re not alone — coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) is more common than you think.

From an evolutionary perspective, distorted facial expressions trigger our brain’s “danger” radar. And for kids, who are still learning to read emotions, a painted-on smile can feel especially unsettling. Add in scary movies and real-life headlines, and that fear can grow deeper over time.

Swipe through to explore the psychology behind clown fear — and how ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can help you face it with confidence 💙

🐶 Afraid of dogs? You’re not alone — and you’re not “just being dramatic.”
Dog phobia (also known as cynophobia) is one of the most common yet overlooked animal fears. As Dr. Debra Kissen, Founder and CEO of Light On Anxiety, explains in this post, it often stems from the unpredictability of dogs and the feeling of not being in control.

At Light On Anxiety, we use exposure-based therapy to help clients gradually face this fear in a safe and supported way. That might include watching videos of dogs, being in the same space as a calm dog, or simply learning to tolerate anxious feelings without avoidance. Every step is tailored to your comfort level.

💙 If fear of dogs is interfering with your daily life, we’re here to help.
Reach out today to take the first step toward feeling more confident and in control.

🧠 ¿Qué es realmente el TOC?

En este video, nuestra terapeuta bilingüe Zughey Flores, MA explica de manera clara y compasiva qué es el Trastorno Obsesivo Compulsivo (TOC) y cómo afecta la vida diaria.

➡️ El TOC tiene dos partes:
🔹 Obsesiones — pensamientos o imágenes no deseadas que generan ansiedad.
🔹 Compulsiones — rituales o comportamientos que una persona hace para aliviar esa ansiedad.

Ojo: el TOC no es lo mismo que ser perfeccionista o muy ordenado. Es un trastorno que puede causar mucho malestar y dificultar el día a día.

✨ La buena noticia: ¡el TOC sí tiene tratamiento!
La exposición con prevención de respuesta (ERP) es una terapia muy efectiva, y en algunos casos, también se puede considerar la medicación.

Si tú o alguien que conoces está lidiando con TOC, buscar ayuda profesional puede marcar la diferencia 💙

🧠 Struggling with intrusive thoughts? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to believe everything your mind tells you.

Lauryn Stoffregen, M.S.Ed., therapist at Light On Anxiety, shares one of her go-to strategies for managing difficult thoughts: Cognitive Defusion.

This powerful tool helps you change your relationship with intrusive thoughts by teaching you to observe them—not obey them.

✨ Try this:
Picture your thought sitting on a leaf, gently floating down a stream. Or imagine placing it on a high shelf and closing the closet door.
By doing this, you remind yourself: this is just a thought—not a command, not a truth, just a mental event.

Cognitive defusion is a technique in CBT-based therapy, helping reduce emotional distress and build resilience 💙

🩺 “What if this headache means something serious?”
🤒 “Why won’t this feeling go away?”

If you struggle with health anxiety, you're not alone — and you're not imagining things. The physical symptoms you’re experiencing are real — but the interpretation of what they mean might be influenced by anxiety.

As Anna Wruck, LPC explains, one helpful approach is to pause and ask:
🔹 What else might be contributing to this feeling?
That headache? It could be from skipping lunch, not enough sleep, or not drinking water.

This gentle reframing doesn’t minimize your experience — it helps you stay grounded instead of spiraling.

But if your days are filled with doctor visits, constant Googling, or fear that something is always wrong, you don’t have to keep doing this alone.

💙 Light On Anxiety offers expert support for managing health anxiety with compassion and clarity. Reach out — we’re here to help.

How We Work

Our mission is to decrease the pain and suffering associated with untreated anxiety disorders.

We offer CBT based treatment to children, adolescents and adults with a focus on anxiety and stress-related disorders, including OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, separation anxiety disorder, compulsive skin picking, and trichotillomania. We apply the principles of evidence-based treatments, while at the same time treating the whole person, with deep respect for the human spirit and the challenges we all face on our journey through life. We strive to make our clients their own anxiety coaches and to keep treatment as short-term as possible. There is nothing we appreciate more than when clients arrive at a place where they they no longer need external assistance to manage their anxiety symptoms. We often states to our clients, “We strive to become unnecessary in your life.”

Light on Anxiety CBT Treatment Centers offer accessible, effective, practical treatment for anxiety and related disorders. We strive to quickly get you in and out and back to your life.
