Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that helps clients accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes. ACT can help treat many conditions, including:
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
- Psychosis
- Eating Disorders
- Substance Use Disorders
- Workplace Stress
- Chronic Pain
About ACT
Clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior. ACT is based on these core principles:
- Mindful behavior and present awareness
- Attention to personal values
- Commitment to meaningful action
- Acceptance of psychological experiences

The ACT Approach
ACT stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. It is counterproductive to try to control painful emotions; suppression ultimately leads to more distress. ACT offers valid alternatives through mindful behavior and values-based action.
How ACT Helps
By taking steps to change their behavior while learning to accept their psychological experiences, clients can eventually change their attitudes and emotional states. ACT provides practical tools for building psychological flexibility.
