At Social Connection Counseling, we understand that painful thoughts and emotions are a natural part of life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about learning to respond to those experiences in a way that supports your values and your goals, instead of letting them control you. ACT can help you create a more fulfilling life, even when challenges or discomfort are present.
Acceptance and commitment therapy is an evidence-based approach that blends mindfulness, behavior change strategies, and values-based action. Rather than focusing on eliminating difficult feelings, ACT helps you accept what is out of your control and commit to actions that enrich your life. You will learn to observe your thoughts without getting caught up in them and to take steps toward what matters most, even when it feels uncomfortable.
When we work with acceptance and commitment therapy, sessions may include:
With consistent practice, ACT can help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to your values. Many people experience greater emotional flexibility, reduced avoidance, and a stronger sense of self-direction. You may notice more courage to pursue meaningful goals, even when challenges arise.
While our practice is based in the West Loop, Social Connection Counseling supports clients across neighborhoods including River North, Streeterville, River West, Near West Side, Fulton Market District, Old Town, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, and Lakeview. With virtual counseling, you can access professional care from anywhere in the state.
