What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is an evidence-based branch of contextual behavioral science. Rather than trying to eliminate intrusive thoughts or unwanted emotions, ACT helps you learn to accept them as part of the human experience. This shifts the focus away from avoidance and toward living a meaningful life—guided by your personal values, even in the presence of discomfort.

Through six core processes, ACT supports deep transformation:

Acceptance of internal experiences
Cognitive defusion, or stepping back from negative thinking
Awareness of the present moment
Self as context, the unchanging observer of thoughts
Clarification of core values
Committed action toward value-driven living

Combined, these create psychological flexibility—the engine that powers meaningful, sustainable change in mental health.

Why Use ACT in Greeley?

Living in Colorado offers unique benefits—and challenges. From outdoor pursuits in the Rockies to balancing busy lives in Denver and beyond, locals often grapple with issues like chronic pain, stress from life transitions, and tension between achievement and presence. ACT addresses these from the inside out, offering practical techniques for everyday relief.

Clients report improved…

Ability to stay present, even during emotional storms
Less reactivity toward anxious or obsessive thoughts (like in OCD)
Stronger alignment between actions and personal values
Increased self-compassion and reduced shame around mental health
Better handling of relationship issues, social anxiety, or parent/teen challenges

ACT isn’t just talk therapy; it’s a toolkit for building a life worth living—and doing it with clarity and purpose.

How ACT Works in Therapy

At Aspen View, each ACT therapist begins with an in-depth intake to understand your mental health history, current stressors, and goals. From there, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan focused on the six core processes of ACT, woven into weekly therapy sessions that may be individual, couples, or group-based.

A sample plan might include:

Acceptance exercises (e.g., observing bodily sensations with curiosity)
Cognitive defusion practices to untangle from automatic negative thoughts
Values exploration to define what truly matters to you
Guided imagery or mindfulness practices to deepen presence
Committed action planning, where small steps forward build momentum
Integration of other modalities like EMDR or DBT if trauma or emotion regulation issues arise

This structure means ACT moves beyond theory, giving you tools that integrate into daily life—whether you’re a student, parent, or career professional.

Who Can Benefit from ACT?

ACT has broad applications across mental health conditions, making it ideal for those seeking growth, healing, and alignment. At Aspen View, clients who find ACT helpful include:

People struggling with anxiety disorders, OCD, mood disorders, or social phobia
Those battling chronic pain, where controlling discomfort hasn’t helped
Individuals seeking clarity during life transitions—like career shifts, divorce, or loss
Teens and young adults navigating identity and direction
Couples or families dealing with tension, separation, or communication breakdown
Anyone looking to move beyond thought patterns that block personal growth

If you’ve tried other psychotherapies like CBT without sustained change, ACT may offer a powerful alternative with results.

What to Expect in ACT Sessions

From your first visit, you’ll experience a non-judgmental, strengths-based atmosphere. ACT sessions typically include:

Exercises to build present moment awareness and reduce entanglement with thoughts
Creative tools—metaphors and experiential tasks—to build cognitive defusion
Mindfulness practice to anchor into here-and-now presence
Reflection and encouragement to bridge your sense of self with purposeful choices
Review of committed action steps and troubleshooting roadblocks
Optional integration of EMDR for trauma or DBT strategies for emotion regulation

Each session focuses on what matters most to you, and therapists adapt techniques to your pace, style, and ongoing wellness journey.
