OCD and Anxiety Treatment in Bergen County and Across New Jersey
”Evidence-Based Therapy Using ERP and ACT”
At Clear Light Therapy, we specialize in helping individuals break free from the cycles of obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and anxiety that interfere with daily life. Using a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we offer effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders.
What is ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)?
ERP is the gold-standard, research-supported therapy for treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It helps you confront the thoughts, images, or situations that cause anxiety—without relying on compulsions or avoidance.
In ERP, you gradually face your fears in a structured and supportive way, learning that anxiety can rise and fall naturally without you needing to do something to “make it go away.” Over time, this builds confidence, reduces fear, and weakens the grip of OCD.
ERP can be life-changing for individuals who struggle with:
• Intrusive thoughts
• Checking behaviors
• Contamination fears
• Reassurance-seeking
• Avoidance or mental compulsions
• “What if” thinking
How ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) Supports Anxiety and OCD Treatment
ACT teaches you how to relate differently to your thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to control or eliminate them. While ERP focuses on exposure and reducing compulsive responses, ACT adds a layer of emotional flexibility—helping you live a full life even when anxiety shows up.
With ACT, you’ll learn skills to:
• Accept discomfort instead of fighting it
• Identify your values and commit to them
• Unhook from obsessive or anxious thoughts
• Respond to anxiety with compassion instead of fear
When combined with ERP, ACT helps clients build long-term resilience and reconnect with the life they want to live—not the life OCD or anxiety tells them to live.
You can live a life free from your anxiety or ocd.
