Colorado, Florida, Washington, DC
“Many of my clients may look successful on the outside but feel stuck in the same painful patterns underneath. They find themselves overthinking relationships, questioning their worth, people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and disconnection. They know something needs to change, but they're not sure how to get there. For over 18 years, I've helped individuals understand the deeper roots of these struggles and create lasting change. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep showing up in your life—not with judgment or shame, but with curiosity and compassion.”

“I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who look like they have it together, butttt internally feel anxious, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable, yet caught in overthinking, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer fit who they’re becoming. You might find yourself constantly in your head, questioning your decisions, or feeling like you “should” be fine, but aren’t. I support people navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and relationship patterns they’re ready to understand and change at a deeper level. My clients are curious, reflective, and willing to be honest with themselves; not looking for quick fixes, but for clarity, alignment, and meaningful change that lasts.”

“Anxiety often begins as your brain’s attempt to keep you safe. This instinct helped humans survive danger long before modern life existed. But when the anxiety response stays switched on too long, it can leave you feeling exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed. For people with anxiety disorders, this can look like panicky thoughts, intrusive worry, avoidance of situations, or fear that feels hard to control. Anxiety isn’t a sign of weakness – it’s a sign that your mind is trying to keep you out of harm's way. I also work with those with sexual challenges- low libido, pain, erectile dysfunction and help you express your desires and needs. I work with those in perinatal and postpartum periods- these huge life changes impact all areas of your life, including work, relationships, rest (or lack thereof), free time, and you may benefit from space to process this transition and get support.”

“Pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause; they can all leave you feeling like a stranger in your own skin. Your body is changing, your mind feels unfamiliar, and no one quite prepared you for this. You are not broken. You are navigating one of the hardest seasons of life, and you deserve professional support that truly gets it. I work at the intersection of a woman's body, hormones, and mental health. My practice supports women through postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, birth trauma, sexual trauma, life transitions, perimenopause, and body image concerns. I also support caregivers, preteens, teens, and adults managing depression, grief, and relational issues. If you are looking for an inclusive, compassionate space where what you're feeling is validated, I am here to help.”

“You’ve tried everything to fix your sleep—self-help books, supplements, and pills—but nothing seems to stick. It’s exhausting to wake up from the nightmare of insomnia only to face a day of groggy mornings and the constant stress of playing catch-up. Whether you are struggling to fall asleep, waking up too early, or skipping out on friends because you're terrified of ruining your sleep schedule, you don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle.”

“I work with teens and adults who are ready for something to change. Often, people start therapy because anxiety or trauma are intruding and making it hard to live life the way they want to: things like panic, fear, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm are getting in the way of connecting and experiencing life to the fullest. My clients are insightful, purposeful, and inspiring. I feel so honored to hear others' stories and walk alongside my clients as they seek healing! Therapy is vulnerable work, and it takes bravery to step into it.”

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.
