ACT Therapy Near Me

What Is ACT Therapy?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapy similar to CBT but focuses more on acceptance with thoughts it is a type of therapy that helps you:
✔ Break free from negative thought loops that keep you stuck.
✔ Learn how to sit with discomfort without letting it control your day or emotions.
✔ Take action on what matters.

Other therapy models that focus on eliminating painful thoughts and emotions, ACT helps you change your relationship with them, which is the core of ACT. You’ll learn to accept what you can’t change, take action on what you can, and stop waiting for life to “feel perfect” before you start living it.

Who Can Benefit from ACT Therapy?

ACT therapy is for anyone, but if any of these areas resonate, it can be beneficial:

• Feels trapped in anxious thoughts or overthinking.

• Perfectionism and avoidance, waiting until the “right moment” to take action.

• Deals with chronic stress or burnout.

• Stop avoiding difficult emotions and start facing them with courage.

• Feels disconnected from their values and unsure of what matters to them.

• Wants to build confidence and self-acceptance.

If you’ve ever felt your thoughts are holding you back, ACT therapy can help you break free from that cycle.

How ACT Therapy Works: What to Expect

ACT is built around six core principles that help you build psychological flexibility and the ability to adapt and live meaningfully, even when life feels hard.

1. Learning to Unhook from Your Thoughts

Instead of letting negative thoughts dictate how you feel or act, ACT helps you see them for what they are.

2. Accepting, Not Resisting, Difficult Emotions

ACT teaches you that painful emotions aren’t the enemy. Instead of pushing them away, you’ll learn to sit and move through discomfort rather than feeling stuck.

3. Connecting with the Present Moment

So much anxiety comes from reliving the past or worrying about the future. ACT therapy helps you develop mindfulness skills to stay present.

4. Identifying What Truly Matters to You

ACT helps you clarify your values and what matters in your life and align your actions with them.

5. Taking Action, Even When It’s Hard

ACT therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about helping you take meaningful steps toward your goals.

6. Practicing Self-Compassion

ACT teaches you how to treat yourself with kindness instead of self-criticism.

ACT is an evidence-based therapy that helps with:

Anxiety & Overthinking – Stop getting tangled in your thoughts.

Perfectionism & Self-Doubt – Let go of the pressure to always “get it right.”
