Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values and long-term goals.She also uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes listening and partnership. That means the therapist aims to understand each person's experience and adapt the work to fit that person’s needs and preferences. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process, and she will work with clients to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals.
