I also use DBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and art therapy, depending on the client's needs.
My clients have come to therapy because they know something needs to change. They are looking for some relief from constant negative thoughts and emotions that interfere with their life and relationships. The cause of these issues may be anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, unprocessed trauma, situational stresses, family problems, or many other factors which seem overwhelming. They may be feeling stuck or at a crisis point in their lives. At this point they reach out to a counselor who will show that they will really listen and understand the client's perspective. It is this caring connection that creates hope for change.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
