How ACT informs online sessions and practical work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice this means naming what matters, identifying small steps, and testing those steps between sessions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and for people thinking about life purpose.The therapy process is collaborative. The therapist and client work together to decide which approaches fit best for the client's goals and circumstances. That may mean trying ACT techniques alongside straightforward behavioral exercises and reviewing what feels useful after a few sessions.
