“I specialize in mental health therapy for emerging adults, and adults struggling with transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and work-life balance.”
“I treat clients with anxiety, depression, and other stressors on a short-term to long-term basis. I have an interest in my clinical heart for clients struggling with "normal" therapy "not working." Researchers have used the term "personality disorder" for a client that has complex struggles- perhaps ASPD, NPD, BPD. If you have had a hard time finding a "right fit" in a therapist, I welcome you!”
“I work with individuals (adults) hoping to heal from the effects of trauma. Using approaches such as EMDR and parts work, I help clients process difficult experiences, reduce the impact of triggers, challenge old survival patterns, and develop greater self-compassion, self-trust, and emotional connection.”
“I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma-related symptoms, communication challenges, and relationship issues. It is my goal to be a collaborative partner who will provide you with the skills and tools to navigate through the process of self-discovery, coping and healing. Life may present us with events, circumstance, or relationships are impacting our well-being. It is courageous to take the first step, and I respect and honor the vulnerability that can come with the process of beginning counseling. I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you.”
“I work with adolescents (13+) and adults (including older adults) who may be anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, hurting, questioning, grieving, burned out, or trying to make sense of experiences that continue to affect them. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, chronic illness or pain, suicidal thoughts, identity, or major changes in life. Others cannot easily name what is wrong; they simply know something is not working. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to exploring new ways of understanding or responding to what they are experiencing. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal. Figuring out what you need can be part of the work.”
“If you are struggling to make sense of your emotions, connect with others in a meaningful way, feel stuck in old patterns, process traumatic experiences, or navigate a life transition, I might be a good fit as a therapist for you. In my work, I bring curiosity and non-judgment to the therapeutic space and support clients in moving toward greater self-understanding, acceptance, and compassion. Together, we work to better understand your brain and experiences, develop strategies that align with how you function best, and celebrate strengths that may have been overlooked or misunderstood. I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, PTSD, neurodivergence, and/or ADHD. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I integrate all these approaches into my therapeutic style to best meet individuals’ needs.”
“Adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, low self esteem, PTSD, burnout, spiritual/existential matters and interpersonal concerns.”
“Trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, Neurodivergence, Brain injury, ABI, TBI”
“I work with individuals 13 and up who have experienced various traumas, including generational, religious, various other traumatic experiences. I also specialize in helping individuals experiencing various types of grief. All in which can lead to anxiety, depression, difficulty managing daily tasks, stress, and feeling disconnected.”
“My favorite clients have had previous therapy and are ready to go deeper. I enjoy working with clients who want to discover their authentic Self and develop healthy self-leadership. I work experientially and utilize a variety of traditional and modern somatic methods to help you attain fulfillment.”
“I help teens and young adults who feel anxious and stressed out and overwhelmed by academic pressure, social relationships, and figuring out who they are and what they want, build the confidence and ability to meet the world head-on and create the life they want. I also help people who have found themselves in the heartbreak of infertility, the stress of fertility treatments, and the maze of 3rd party family building stay anchored through the grief and unknowns so they can face the next steps with clarity and strength. Through my work with infertility, I was naturally pulled to support people during and after their pregnancy when everything about life as you knew it, changes. I support mothers who feel like they have lost themselves and are failing at everything in creating a life where they are fulfilled and whole.”
“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure of who you are or where you’re going, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel grounded and comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure or judgment, while we make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions, my goal is to make you feel supported and respected while you gain insight and confidence in who you are and how to manage whatever comes your way. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating the pressures of school, relationships, identity development, and expectations from others (and themselves). I also specialize in supporting athletes with confidence, focus, motivation, and returning to sport after injury while staying focused on who you are beyond performance.”
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.
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.
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.
Explore another therapy approach or browse providers by specialty, location, and type of care. If you travel or live in more than one state, review your options for continuing care across locations.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
