Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Indianapolis, IN
While I have experience providing treatment for diverse populations/needs, I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, and I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that uses acceptance, mindfulness, and behavior modification strategies to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and increase psychological flexibility).
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisville, Kentucky with over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, offering weekend and evening telehealth services to teens and adults as they manage issues related to stress, relationships, anxiety, and depression. My unique schedule offers the ability for those I serve to find the support and guidance they need outside of traditional business hours, thus allowing them to pursue self-care without jeopardizing other work or school commitments.

This is often a blend of CBT, ACT, DBT, and Mindfulness Therapies, with the goal of exploring thoughts and emotions to promote healing and fulfillment.
Do you feel you treat yourself as well as you deserve? How does the voice inside talk to you about your value, your ability, or whether a person can be imperfect and still be worthy?
We often see ourselves on our worst days as though those moments define who we really are, or believe our relationships would suffer if our imperfections were in plain sight. We can be our worst critics, finding a way to quietly reject a compliment or think, “if they only knew”. We try to make up for feeling inadequate and stretch ourselves thin. It can be hard to sleep or get our racing thoughts to stop doubting or worrying for even a minute.

My theoretical framework comes from integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, self compassion, and shame reduction into what the client says is working for them.
Hello, I'm Kristina! I believe wellness has different definitions and paths for each person, and I love being a part of my clients' journey in creating, adjusting, and respecting that picture. My concept of quality therapy includes discovery, personally defined healing, creating new connections, and finding ways to take self-compassionate action. I enjoy art, media, and literature and integrate this into my work whenever possible. Clients and colleagues have described me as calm, compassionate, curious, and a bit nerdy. I embrace these identities in my role and enjoy working with a variety of communities and identities.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
