Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Rethink, Refocus, Realign
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are deeply interconnected—and learning how to work with them can lead to meaningful change. At Philly Psych, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you break unhelpful patterns, manage distressing thoughts, and build a life aligned with your values.
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and shift distorted thinking patterns, reduce anxiety and depression, and develop healthier coping strategies. It’s particularly effective for issues like anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress.
ACT combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies. Rather than trying to “get rid of” uncomfortable thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you create space for them while committing to actions that support a fulfilling and meaningful life.
These approaches can help you:
-
Manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thoughts
-
Break cycles of avoidance and reactivity
-
Increase emotional flexibility and self-compassion
-
Identify core values and take committed action
-
Build healthier habits and coping strategies
Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, low motivation, or feeling stuck in your patterns, CBT and ACT offer practical, research-backed tools to help you move forward.
