“Do you have sudden shifts in mood, intense emotions, or overwhelm leading to shut down? Do you find yourself constantly on edge or consumed by worry? These experiences can be extremely isolating.

If you are seeking an affirming space where you can explore your world safely, I would be honored to partner with you. I provide detailed psychoeducation throughout therapy, ensuring that you can always understand the "why" behind symptoms and treatments.”

NCC, RiC, Grief Counselor

Licensed In:
Virginia
“I work with adults, primarily women. These are people who have put so many others first, neglecting their own needs & self-care. Finally, she is ready to prioritize herself, and may even feel guilty for doing so. Clients may be in the sandwich generation, caring for elderly parents and dealing with caregiver fatigue and anticipatory grief. She could be experiencing issues with an adult child, including navigating estrangement. The client could be a high-functioning co-dependent. She is often an over-achiever. She may be exiting a relationship with a narcissistic/toxic partner, and rediscovering herself while learning how to parallel parent. She may have lost a spouse, parent, or child, and needs support in her grief journey. This client may need to address childhood trauma, and explore attachment wounds/styles. She wants to find her voice, and establish & maintain healthy boundaries.”

“I support neurodivergent individuals who are struggling with motivation, self-doubt, and anxiety—without the drain of never-ending to-do lists, the pressure to fit in, and the shame of feeling like they’re not enough. This includes: -Perfectionists who wish they could let go of the need to be flawless and embrace the freedom of simply enjoying the process -Bored or unfocused teens who can’t figure out why they have a hard time fitting in and want to feel understood -Those who wonder if they are neurodivergent (or already know from previous or self-diagnosis!) -Worriers who wish they could quiet their minds and find peace in the present moment -Those who are suffering from obsessive thinking and longing for relief from the need for reassurance and control -Any combination of the above!”

Trauma Wise Healing

LCSW

Licensed In:
Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin
“I work with cycle breakers: adults, couples, parents, and families who are ready to stop repeating patterns they inherited, survived, or learned. My clients are often insightful and high-functioning, but feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, relationship conflict, parenting triggers, shame, people-pleasing, overfunctioning, shutdown, or emotional reactivity. They may be healing from complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, birth trauma, postpartum anxiety or rage, infertility, pregnancy loss, attachment wounds, or relational trauma. Many have done therapy before and understand where the pattern came from, but still feel like insight alone has not helped them change it.”

Haven Point LLC

MA, LIMHP, LPC

Licensed In:
Colorado, Nebraska
“Many of the people I work with are the ones others rely on, the helpers, the responsible ones, the people who have learned to keep going even when they feel overwhelmed inside. On the outside, it may look like you’re managing life well, but internally you might feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who have spent years holding things together for others and are ready for a space where they can slow down, reflect, and begin focusing on their own healing. Many clients come to therapy recognizing that old experiences or long-standing patterns may still be shaping how they feel, relate to others, and move through the world today.”

About Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

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.
