Online Courses for Professionals

The following two courses were designed by me as a two-course sequence for professionals. "ACT in Practice" was originally called "ACT Immersion II" and unless you are truly an ACT expert I suggest they be taken in that order.

Learn Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT Immersion is a deep dive into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a process-based therapy. Over 10 modules, you’ll learn how to read the six psychological flexibility processes and target them with a wide range of exercises. Through several real-play therapy sessions, clinical tapes, and exercises, Dr. Hayes demonstrates first-hand how to skillfully apply ACT with clients.

After completing this course you will have a clear understanding of the underlying processes of change and the ability to see and identify them. This will allow you to flexibly and creatively apply ACT in your own practice, and use your existing therapy arsenal even more effectively to create lasting impact for your clients.

This is an online, self-paced course, and enrollment comes with lifetime access to all materials.

Bridge the gap between theory and practical application

With an emphasis on seeing ACT “in action” through extensive real-play and role-play exercises, this course provides you with cutting-edge diagnostic and case conceptualization tools to help you channel your existing ACT knowledge and experience into more powerful interventions, and to continuously update your approach through all phases of the therapeutic relationship.

After going through this course, you’ll be able to apply ACT and its psychological flexibility model with greater confidence and creativity — even in complex cases — and be more effective at creating lasting and self-sustaining change in the lives of those you serve.

This is an online, self-paced course, and enrollment comes with lifetime access to all materials.

ACT in Action DVD Set

If you want to see a younger me and a variety of well-known ACT professionals demonstrate classic ACT methods, the following DVDs are still very useful – especially in classes, agencies, or supervision.

(The six ACT in Action DVDs are also included in a course marketed by PESI, that includes a filmed workshop by D. J. Moran. The marketing (over which I have no control) can be confusing, but it is not a course by me and I have not seen its contents.)

Online Courses for Non-professionals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – Audio Course

For over 30 years, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been used effectively to treat mental and behavioral health problems such as anxiety and depression. It has also been demonstrated to support workplace success, sports performance, weight loss, social change, and more.

Due to a technical glitch my voice is lower range than it actually is, but most people seem to get used to it.
