Acceptance And Committment Therapy

What Is ACT Therapy?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you live a life guided by your deepest values—even when life feels painful or uncertain. Rather than trying to control or eliminate difficult thoughts and emotions, ACT helps you develop the tools to accept them, defuse from unhelpful mental loops, and take committed action toward what truly matters.

At Mount Tabor Counseling, our therapists use ACT to help clients who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected regain a sense of peace and purpose.

How ACT Helps

ACT blends mindfulness, behavioral science, and values-based living to build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay open and present, no matter what life brings.

You’ll learn to:

  • Recognize and release unhelpful thought patterns
  • Make space for painful emotions rather than fighting them
  • Reconnect with your core values and life direction
  • Take small, meaningful steps toward a life that reflects who you truly are

This approach is particularly effective for:

  • Anxiety and panic
  • OCD and intrusive thoughts
  • Depression and grief
  • Religious or moral scrupulosity
  • Life transitions and burnout

What to Expect in ACT Therapy

Each session focuses on practical, experiential work—not just talking about problems. You’ll practice mindfulness exercises, defusion techniques, and values exploration tailored to your goals.

Our therapists may integrate ACT with other approaches, such as:

  • Gottman Method (for couples and relationships)
  • Logotherapy (for meaning-centered growth)
  • Faith-integrated counseling for those who wish to incorporate spiritual formation
