“I'm passionate about supporting queer and neurodivergent teens and adults who have experienced relational or religious trauma find peace on the inside so they can live boldly on the outside. If you fit that description, you’re probably exhausted from constantly fighting with yourself. You might wonder why you’re always drained even though you feel like you’re never doing enough. To someone looking from the outside, it might look like you’re just sitting on the couch. But inside feels like all-out war between different parts of you that are fighting over what you should or shouldn’t be doing. Your body may not be moving, but your mind is racing. No wonder you don’t have any energy left.”

“I work with adults who are used to holding a lot together, but feel overwhelmed beneath the surface. You may appear capable and high-functioning, yet internally feel anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are hard to break. Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and a constant pressure to “keep up” or get things right. There are often patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling responsible for others. You might find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like nothing you do is quite enough. Some clients are also navigating the impact of past experiences or relationship dynamics that continue to shape how they feel about themselves and others.”

“I work with thoughtful, high-functioning adults who are navigating seasons of transition, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or parents who are used to holding a great deal for others while quietly struggling themselves. I have particular expertise supporting women during the perinatal and postpartum period, individuals processing complex trauma or grief, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, and identity shifts that often accompany major life changes. My clients are often insightful and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic stress, or burnout. They may appear “put together” on the outside while internally feeling unanchored, depleted, or unsure of their direction. Together, we create a thoughtful, grounded space to slow down, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with a steadier sense of s”

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.
