Join Free →Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a transformative, evidence-based approach that enhances clinical effectiveness by fostering psychological flexibility and values-driven action.Rooted in both behavioral science and mindfulness, ACT has demonstrated effectiveness across a wide range of clinically relevant concerns from a behavior analytic perspective. Despite its robust framework, some clinicians are unsure how to integrate ACT into their existing therapeutic approach, while others who have embraced its principles may seek greater clarity on specific techniques or theoretical concepts. This workshop offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to ACT, designed to meet applied behavioral scientists wherever they are in their understanding of the model. Through clear explanations and practical examples, participants will gain a solid grasp of ACT's six core processes—acceptance, defusion, contacting the present moment, self-as-context, values, and committed action—and learn how to weave them seamlessly into their current practice. Whether you are new to ACT or seeking to refine your skills, this session provides actionable strategies and insights to help you address client challenges with greater effectiveness and compassion. Join us to discover how ACT can enrich your therapeutic repertoire, empower your clients, and deepen your professional impact. I actively search for ACT CE trainings. This is by far the best one I've done. Dr. Moran is a very engaging presenter. He obviously really understands this stuff on a deep level, and through this course I feel like a lot of the components of ACT were really able to click for me. Highly recommend!
