Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based psychological approach designed to help people live richer, more meaningful lives. By teaching clients to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify their personal values, and take values-driven action, ACT promotes psychological flexibility and emotional resilience.It is effective for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, stress, addiction, or anyone seeking a more fulfilling life.
How ACT Works – The Six Core Processes
ACT focuses on developing psychological flexibility through six key processes:
Acceptance / Willingness Allow difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations to exist without trying to suppress or change them.
Cognitive Defusion Learn to observe thoughts as simply words or images, creating distance from unhelpful thought patterns.
Contact with the Present Moment (Mindfulness) Practice awareness of the here and now, noticing internal and external experiences without judgment.
Self as Context Develop the “observing self” – the part of you that notices thoughts and feelings without being defined by them.
Values Identify what truly matters to you, the kind of person you want to be, and the direction you want your life to take.
Committed Action Take concrete, values-aligned steps toward meaningful goals, even in the presence of challenging emotions.
