Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a values-based, process-oriented psychotherapy developed by Steven C.

Using mindfulness, values clarification, and behavioral commitment, ACT represents a third-wave approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy and has demonstrated effectiveness across diverse psychological problems.
