Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Don't Let Your Thoughts Control Your Life
Sometimes our thoughts feel like big, loud bullies—telling us we’re not good enough or that things will never get better. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is like a gentle coach that helps you notice those thoughts without letting them control your life.
WHAT WE OFFER FOR YOU
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, ACT helps you stop the battle with your mind
and start living in a way that feels true to you.
Why ACT Is Used
Let’s say you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or even trauma.
You keep trying to push your thoughts away, but they just keep coming back.
ACT teaches you to accept those thoughts without letting them hold you back.
You learn to focus on your values such as family, friendship, or growth, and discover what actions you can take that move you toward those things.
ACT is often used for:
Anxiety and panic
Depression and low mood
Trauma and PTSD
Grief and loss
Chronic pain or illness
Life transitions or identity challenges
The Goal of ACT
The goal isn’t to erase the pain—but to help you live better with it. Your therapist will help you learn mindfulness skills, clarify what matters most in your life, and take small steps in that direction, no matter what your mind is telling you.
How ACT Helps You Feel More Free
ACT isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about helping you respond differently to what’s hard. You learn that you don’t have to believe every thought your mind throws at you.
Therapists at Cornerstone Wellness Center will guide you with warmth, clarity, and a focus on what matters to you. Together, we’ll help you build a more flexible, meaningful life.
A Simple Story:
Meet Sarah
Sarah is a 32-year-old mom who always felt like she had to be perfect. After losing her job, she started to feel stuck and full of fear. She tried ignoring the fear, but it kept growing.
At Cornerstone Wellness Center, Sarah worked with a therapist trained in ACT. Instead of fighting her fear, she learned to notice it, name it, and gently move through it. She started volunteering at her son’s school—something she deeply valued but avoided because of anxiety.
Over time, Sarah realized: even with fear, she could still live a life that mattered to her.
