ACT for Anxiety, Depression, and Other Emotional Struggles in Columbus

At Proven Pathways, we offer expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is an evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that will help you live a more fulfilling and meaningful life by learning to accept what is out of your personal control and commit to actions that align with your values. ACT is particularly helpful if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from what matters most to you. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief, or stress-related issues, ACT offers practical tools and strategies that empower you to move forward.

ACT focuses on changing the relationship you have with our thoughts and feelings, thus helping your develop psychological flexibility, reduce the impact of negative thoughts, and build resilience. You will learn how to make space for discomfort, stay present in the moment, and take action guided by your values.

ACT integrates elements of mindfulness, acceptance, and behavioral change to help you break free from unhelpful patterns and live in alignment with what truly matters to you. ACT sessions are collaborative and tailored to your unique goals. Treatment is typically time-limited, often lasting 12–16 sessions, though we personalize the duration based on your individual needs and the complexity of your concerns.
