This 6-hour continuing education course provides clinicians with a comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its application to depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and suicide prevention. ACT is a third-wave behavioral therapy that emphasizes psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and values-based action.
Participants will learn how to conceptualize clinical presentations through an ACT lens, apply the six core processes of ACT, and implement practical interventions to reduce experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, and emotional dysregulation. Special emphasis is placed on working with high-risk populations, including individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, trauma-related symptoms, and chronic anxiety or depressive patterns.
This course integrates theory, case conceptualization, experiential exercises, and applied clinical tools, equipping clinicians with practical skills to enhance treatment outcomes and support long-term client resilience.
Intended Audience & Skill Level:
This course is designed for mental health professionals, including psychologists, counselors, social workers, and other behavioral health providers seeking to expand their clinical toolkit. It is appropriate for clinicians at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Beginners will gain a foundational understanding of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles and core processes, while intermediate and advanced practitioners will deepen their skills in applying ACT interventions to complex presentations such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicide prevention. The course offers practical, evidence-based strategies that can be integrated across varying levels of clinical experience and practice settings.
