Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Anxiety

 

Struggling with Anxiety?

​

Anxiety can feel like a constant companion — showing up in your thoughts, your body, and your daily decisions. You may find yourself overthinking, avoiding certain situations, or feeling stuck in a cycle of fear and self-doubt. Over time, anxiety can chip away at your confidence, relationships, and quality of life.

​

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a powerful, research-supported way to work with anxiety. Rather than fighting your thoughts or trying to make anxiety disappear, ACT helps you build a different relationship with it — one rooted in mindfulness, values, and self-compassion.

​

What Does ACT for Anxiety Involve?

​

ACT is an evidence-based, values-focused therapy that helps you respond more flexibly to life’s challenges. In our work together, we’ll focus on:

  • Identifying what truly matters to you — your core values and long-term goals

  • Learning how to notice and step back from unhelpful thoughts, rather than getting stuck in them

  • Building mindfulness skills to stay present, even in uncomfortable moments

  • Practicing self-compassion instead of self-judgment

  • Reducing avoidance behaviors that reinforce anxiety

  • Taking small, meaningful steps toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling

​​

Common Anxiety Issues Treated with ACT:

​

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

  • Social Anxiety

  • Panic Attacks

  • Perfectionism and self-criticism

  • Fear of failure or rejection

  • Life transitions and identity-related stress

  • Avoidance-based coping patterns
