How our Intensive Outpatient Program supports you

Light On Anxiety’s intensive outpatient treatment program is designed to provide you with comprehensive support to achieve your customized treatment goals.

Program participants have the opportunity to meet with a team of therapists up to five times a week. These frequent sessions allow for a more intensive and focused approach to therapy, ensuring you receive the necessary support and guidance on your journey through and soon past anxiety and related conditions.

This program serves as a vital bridge between traditional outpatient therapy and more intensive options like partial hospitalization. By offering a higher frequency of individual therapy sessions, you can receive more targeted interventions and support tailored to your specific needs. This approach allows for deep exploration, skill-building, and progress at an accelerated pace.

The program’s core objective is to empower individuals to confront their anxiety and overcome its challenges. Through evidence-based techniques, psychoeducation, and a compassionate therapeutic alliance, clients will develop effective coping strategies, enhance resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.

At Light On Anxiety, our dedicated team of therapists is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for clients to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Our program aims to foster personal growth, promote self-awareness, and equip individuals with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.

What does Light On Anxiety’s Intensive Outpatient Treatment For Anxiety Include?

There are six different phases of treatment with Light On Anxiety for our Intensive Outpatient Treatment. Throughout each of these phases, our team is determined to help ensure your comfort and to be a guiding force. Each phase will be customized to best meet your needs.  

A clinical intake and treatment planning session typically includes:

  • Establishing rapport with the client
  • Gathering information
  • Assessing the client’s mental and emotional state

This includes setting goals, developing strategies to help the client reach their goals, and making a plan for follow-up and monitoring.

These treatment approaches include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in order to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and OCD. The more frequently you work out your “CBT mental muscles”, the more rapidly you will see results and meet your treatment goals.
  • Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized form of CBT that focuses on gradually exposing the individual to the situations or objects that trigger the anxiety or obsessive thoughts. The goal is to help the individual learn to tolerate the distress associated with the triggering situation and eventually reduce the fear or obsession.
  • Other treatment approaches that are often used in the treatment of anxiety and OCD include medication management, mindfulness-based therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and supportive psychotherapy.

Referral management is an important part of ensuring that patients receive high quality care. Your Light On Anxiety treatment team will, when appropriate, coordinate with primary care providers, specialists, or other health care professionals to  determine the best course of treatment.

Relapse prevention is an important component of long-term wellness planning and is a set of strategies and approaches that individuals can use to help them stay on track with their recovery goals.

These relapse prevention strategies may include:

  • Identifying early warning signs of relapse
  • Developing an action plan to manage stressors and triggers
  • Developing new coping skills
  • Engaging in self-care activities
  • Finding social support

Long-term wellness planning is a process of setting achievable goals and creating a plan to reach those objectives.

This long term wellness plan may include:

  • Developing healthy habits
  • Creating a support system
  • Engaging in regular physical activity
  • Managing stress

Our team at Light On Anxiety will help ensure these plans go into place and create a support system for your wellness journey.

Scheduling ongoing wellness visits helps to maintain mental health gains by providing an opportunity for individuals to check in with their therapist. These visits can also provide an opportunity to review and adjust any existing treatment plans, medication, or introduce new strategies or treatments to further promote mental health.
