“Hello! I am Stephen Taft, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. We all reach points in our life when we need some additional support to break out of problem patterns or to manage difficult issues. If you have been experiencing trouble in your relationships, anxiety, depression or have been feeling overwhelmed; it may be a good time to start therapy. Together we can work to build upon your personal strengths to support your growth in order to create a happier and healthier life.”
“I work with survivors of trauma, intimate partner and domestic violence who want to live free of toxic and abusive environments, embrace their power and find their identity and increase self worth and self love. I also work with high achievers, such as college students, executives and CEO's who want to let go of barriers holding them back. I also help teens and kids navigate through child and adolescent-hood. I also work with parents to understand developmental changes affecting their kids, which impact mental health and work to improve parenting and communication.”
“I work with children and teens, aged 3-22 and their families. Specialties include anxiety (including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, selective mutism), depression, OCD, ARFID, and parent support for ADHD. My work is LGBTQ+ affirming and I provide support around issues of gender identity and sexuality. I also provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations.”
“I work with high school students, college-aged individuals, and adults who are navigating life’s challenges and looking for support and growth. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, eating disorders, self-harm, relationship or peer challenges, and major life transitions. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping with difficult emotions and life situations.”
“I have made a point to get experience helping people navigate multiple types of challenges. Some challenges I support people with include neurodivergence, anxiety, life transitions, relationships with body image, and relationships with food. I have made a point to seek training and experience to support those in the LGBTQ+ community. I also provider relational counseling and support relationships that might incorporate Kink or ENM practices.”
“You might be feeling stuck in patterns around food, body image, or anxious thoughts that feel hard to turn off. Maybe meals feel stressful, your mind feels loud with worries or rituals, or you feel exhausted trying to keep everything under control. You may also be navigating the unique stressors that come with military life, frequent transitions, or caring for others while putting yourself last. I work with individuals struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, OCD, and anxiety who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. If you feel like your thoughts or behaviors are running the show, you are not alone, and change is possible.”
“I specialize in working with teens and young adults. Whether they are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, school struggles, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, self-harm, or family conflict, we explore unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for balance, focus, healthier relationships, and self-compassion—tools that fit real life and make a meaningful difference. I use a mix of modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and strength-based approaches. I above all want patients to understand that progress isn’t a straight line, that their struggles aren’t their fault, and that it is possible to feel happier, stronger, and more capable even after setbacks.”
“I work with adults (18+) who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or navigating a period of change. My clients often come to therapy seeking support with anxiety, stress and burnout, depression, grief and loss, substance use, life transitions, or changes in identity and relationships. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, better understand yourself and your experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. I offer a warm, collaborative, and honest environment where we can explore what is happening beneath the surface while focusing on the areas that feel most meaningful to you. Whether you are working through a specific challenge or simply want greater insight into yourself and your patterns, I believe therapy can support meaningful growth and lasting change.”
“I work with adults (18+) in NC who have been told they are "too much", yet also struggle with feeling like they are never enough. I commonly support folks who are reevaluating their beliefs and values, learning how to be fully present in their body, and/or navigating late-identified neurodivergence.”
“I work with teenagers, young adults and adults who are often at the beginning of their mental health journey. Some of them have experienced therapy before with mixed results. I often work with people who are just noticing that something feels off, feeling not like themselves, or are overwhelmed by life's demands. Many of my clients are encountering self-esteem difficulties, feeling disconnected from others, and often feel an intense need to mask themselves in order to be accepted.”
“As a licensed mental health counselor, I offer telehealth counseling to support you through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and parenting struggles. Whether you’re dealing with sleep issues, chronic pain, life transitions, or seeking personal growth and identity exploration, I’m here to guide you — all from the comfort of your home in Washington, Florida, and North Carolina.”

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.
