Because you deserve to feel calm and confident again, not like you’re drowning in your daily life.

What Are The Symptoms of Stress?

Feeling out of control
Fatigue or low energy
Anxiety or worry

What Are The Types of Stress?

Stress can look different for everyone. Understanding what type you’re experiencing can help you find the right tools to manage it. A few types of stress include:

Chronic Stress

Ongoing stress from work, relationships, or life circumstances that doesn't let up. Chronic stress can lead to exhaustion, health problems, and feeling constantly "on edge."

Acute Stress

Short-term stress from specific events like deadlines or presentations. While normal in small doses, it is problematic when it happens constantly.

Episodic Acute Stress

When you experience acute stress repeatedly due to a hectic lifestyle. It often leads to feeling anxious, irritable, and overwhelmed most of the time.

Traumatic Stress

Stress from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events. Experiencing this type of stress can cause long-lasting effects, including nightmares, flashbacks, and increased anxiety that interfere with daily life.

Developmental Stress

Stress from natural life transitions like starting a new job, becoming a parent, or retirement. Even expected changes can feel overwhelming without proper support.

Eustress

Positive stress that motivates and energizes you toward goals. While generally beneficial, it can become overwhelming if there's too much at once.

Better Care Starts with Therapists Who Are Cared For

You’ve probably experienced it before, sitting across from a therapist who seems distracted, rushed, or just going through the motions. Maybe they kept checking the clock, or you felt like they were already thinking about their next appointment.

That’s what happens when therapists are overworked and burnt out. And it directly impacts your healing.

We do things differently. We put our therapists first because when they’re supported and energized, you get their best work—and better results.

What this means for your healing:

No overloaded caseloads: Your therapist isn’t overwhelmed with clients, so they can give you personalized attention.
No burnout: Our therapists have energy to be fully present and engaged in your progress.
No rushed sessions or quotas: Your breakthrough moments aren’t cut short by time pressure.
Full presence: They remember your story, track your progress, and adapt their approach to what works for you

The result? You heal faster, feel more understood, and look forward to your sessions. When your therapist feels supported, you get the focused, compassionate care that leads to real breakthroughs.

That’s the Lifebulb promise.

Treatment Options for Stress Management

Our stress therapists use evidence-based approaches to help you understand your stress triggers and develop effective coping strategies.

These proven methods include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to your stress levels. You’ll work with your therapist to develop practical coping skills and learn relaxation techniques that you can use in stressful situations to manage your responses more effectively.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

MBSR teaches you to focus on the present moment through mindfulness meditation, body awareness exercises, and gentle movement. This approach is particularly helpful for chronic stress and helps you develop greater control over your thoughts and emotions.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

IPT focuses on improving your communication skills and relationships when stress stems from social or relationship conflicts. You’ll learn strategies to build better support systems and develop effective conflict resolution skills.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR is specifically designed to address trauma-related stress that continues to impact your daily life. This therapy helps you process traumatic memories and reduce the stress and anxiety associated with them.

Relaxation Techniques

You’ll learn practical stress management tools like deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery. You can use these techniques anywhere to help you manage stress in the moment.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback helps you learn to control your body’s physical stress responses by monitoring physiological indicators like heart rate and muscle tension. This approach helps you develop greater awareness and control over your stress reactions.
