Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Brewster County, TX
I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT, and trauma-informed care.
If you’re here, you may be feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions—anxious, stuck in overthinking, disconnected, or repeating patterns that no longer feel helpful. You might be dealing with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship stress, or self-esteem concerns, and feel tired of carrying this for so long. Reaching out can feel scary, but wanting support makes sense. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and learn practical ways to feel more grounded, rebuild trust in yourself, and move through life with greater ease and confidence.

I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and/or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but am not opposed to many other types of interventions based on what you share is your desired outcome from therapy.
I understand the exhaustion that comes from trying to fit into a world that wasn't necessarily designed for your mind—or watching your child struggle in that same world. Whether you're navigating these challenges yourself, or supporting a child who is, you've probably spent years being told to change many behaviors to fit more appropriately into systems that weren't built with neurodivergent minds in mind. The truth is, these struggles are all valid. And they deserve compassionate support, not dismissal. Your experiences matter, your child's experiences matter, and everyone deserves care that honors who you truly are.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
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.
