“I’m a compassionate therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, work through challenges, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping each person build self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of balance and well-being.”
“I work with adolescents and adults who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, or life transitions. Many of my clients are high achievers who appear successful on the outside but privately struggle with constant worry, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or feeling overwhelmed. I also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, helping them better understand themselves while building strategies that fit who they are rather than trying to force themselves into someone else’s mold.”
“My clinical interests involve working with neurodivergent individuals (autism, ADHD), life transitions, self-identity, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger management, boundary-setting/communication, relationship issues, as well as trauma-focused work.”
“I work with girls, female teens, and women who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, people-pleasing, emotional sensitivity, and feeling “not good enough,” even when everything looks fine on the outside.”
“I work closely with each individual to understand your unique needs, and from there, we'll collaboratively develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific challenges. My therapeutic approach is personalized, drawing upon a range of evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Brainspotting. The goal is to help you build self-awareness, develop practical coping.”
“I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelm using various CBT and ACT interventions. Together, we'll build your emotional regulation, strengthen your coping skills, and create clarity about your values. and goals. We can reduce your distress and increase your resilience, so you can move forward with confidence and purpose.”
“Do you find yourself overthinking conversations, re-reading texts, or apologizing when you’re not even sure what you did wrong? Maybe you and your partner keep landing in the same painful cycle, wanting connection but not knowing how to get there? I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in patterns, such as people-pleasing, self-doubt, shutting down, or repeating the same arguments. Together, we slow down, notice what’s happening, and start to relate in more grounded, self-trusting ways. We also work on building the capacity to sit with discomfort and uncertainty, so small shifts can actually stick.”
“Folks I work with: individuals, couples, groups & families who are located in WA state (more locations soon!), all genders, ages 13+ (Note: I'll happily consider younger clients, too, just send me an email.) Communities I enjoy working with: LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC, neurodivergent folks, veterans, first responders, & healthcare workers, artists, musicians, & creatives, survivors of trauma & high-control systems (religious or otherwise), kink, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationships, caregivers and helping professionals, entrepreneurs and small business owners. Issues I enjoy working with: anxiety & depression, trauma & (C)PTSD, grief & loss, burnout, business & entrepreneurship, neurodivergence, identity shifts & life transitions, relationship stress, conflict, change, or growth.”
“I'm a therapist in Washington state + California, working with adults and teens. I support people through challenges like anxiety, trauma / abuse, relationships, depression, and work with neurodiverse individuals.”
“I work with questioning or late identified "high masking" Autistic and/or ADHDer adult clients in Texas and most states in the US via online individual, couples, & group therapy, from a strengths-based and neurodivergent affirming approach. I also specialize in helping therapists and those who have experienced narcissistic abuse.”
“My passion is working with couples who are dating, engaged or married as well as adults with food addiction; specifically those who are using a GLP 1 s, weight loss surgery, or feel like you struggle with food noise and would like that to change. Working with school faculty is also something I really enjoy as I spent many years as a School Social Worker. Faith Based Counseling is also an area of focus for me that I incorporate if clients are interested. As a Christian clinician at the heart of everything I do is a desire to help people live more fully, more intentionally, more hopeful and more alive in the present moment.”

What to expect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapy approach that helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts, feelings, memories, and body sensations instead of spending all your energy trying to push them away. ACT often focuses on noticing what shows up inside, making room for discomfort, and taking practical steps toward the life you want to live.
In online ACT sessions, your therapist may help you identify stuck patterns, clarify your values, practice mindfulness skills, and choose actions that support what matters to you. People often look for ACT when they are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship concerns, or feeling stuck. It may be worth exploring if you want therapy that is practical, reflective, and focused on meaningful change.
How to choose a therapist
When comparing online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapists, look for someone whose style feels clear, respectful, and collaborative. ACT can be gentle and reflective, but it can also involve practicing new responses to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, so pacing matters. You may want to ask how the therapist uses ACT in sessions, what kinds of concerns they commonly work with, and whether they include exercises, mindfulness practices, values work, or between-session reflection.
Not every therapist who uses ACT offers it the same way. Review profiles carefully, compare experience and communication style, and ask practical questions before booking so you can choose someone who feels like a good fit for your needs.
Before you book
- Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
- Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
- Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Questions about this approach
How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Start by choosing the state where you will be located during therapy sessions. From there, use filters to narrow your options by insurance, age group, language, service type, and therapy type. Review therapist profiles to see who offers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), what concerns they work with, and whether their style sounds like a good fit. When you find someone who seems aligned with your needs, follow their profile instructions to request an appointment or consultation.
What should I ask before booking?
Before booking, ask how the therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online sessions and what a typical appointment might look like. You can also ask whether sessions include mindfulness exercises, values work, practical skills, or between-session practice. It may help to ask about their experience with your main concerns, availability, fees, insurance, cancellation policies, and how they handle fit if you decide after a first session that you want a different approach.
Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?
In most cases, your therapist needs to be licensed or otherwise legally allowed to provide care in the state where you are physically located during the session. If you travel, even temporarily, tell your therapist before your appointment so they can confirm whether they can continue care while you are away. Some providers can work across more than one state. You can learn more in this guide to finding a therapist licensed in multiple states: https://therapyexpanded.com/find-a-therapist-licensed-in-multiple-states.
Can Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) be done virtually through telehealth therapy?
Yes, many parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can work well through telehealth. Online ACT sessions may include conversation, mindfulness practice, values clarification, noticing thought patterns, and planning small actions between sessions. A private space, reliable internet connection, and a device that allows you to hear and see your therapist clearly can make sessions easier. Ask the therapist how they adapt ACT for online care and what you should expect during virtual appointments.
Who is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) best for?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be a good fit if you feel caught in cycles of overthinking, avoidance, self-criticism, stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling disconnected from what matters to you. It can also appeal to people who want therapy that combines self-awareness with practical action. ACT is not about forcing positive thinking. It is often used to help people make room for difficult experiences while moving toward more meaningful choices.
Do Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapists need special certification or training?
There is not one single requirement that every therapist must meet to say they use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Licensed therapists may learn ACT through graduate training, continuing education, consultation, workshops, supervision, or clinical experience. Because backgrounds vary, it is reasonable to ask how a therapist learned ACT and how often they use it in their work. Focus on whether they can clearly explain their approach and whether it feels appropriate for your goals.
Does insurance cover online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapy, and how does payment usually work?
Insurance coverage usually depends on your plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and the type of service provided. ACT itself is a therapy approach, while billing is usually based on the clinical service, such as an individual therapy session. Some therapists accept insurance, some provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and others are private pay. Check the therapist’s profile and confirm fees, benefits, copays, and payment options before your first appointment.
When is online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapy not the right choice?
Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. Some people may need in-person care, intensive outpatient support, or emergency services instead. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.
Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
