Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that emphasizes acceptance of thoughts and feelings without judgment, and committing to actions aligned with personal values. It helps individuals develop psychological flexibility, which involves being in the present moment, defusing from unhelpful thoughts, and taking action toward valued goals. ACT is grounded in behavioral science and aims to improve mental well-being by promoting mindful behavior and value-driven action. 

Benefits of ACT: ACT can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including:

Anxiety and depression, Stress regulation, Chronic pain, Substance abuse, Phobias, and Improving relationships.
