Rather than focusing only on getting rid of uncomfortable feelings, ACT helps clients clarify their values, reduce the impact of unhelpful thinking patterns, and make meaningful choices even when anxiety, sadness, stress, or self-doubt are present.

ERP helps clients gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or sensations while practicing new ways of responding without relying on compulsions, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or repeated checking. Over time, clients can build confidence, reduce the hold anxiety has on their daily life, and move toward greater freedom and flexibility.
