Evidence-Based Treatment & Patient-Centered Care

At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we use medication management, GeneSight testing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help our clients struggling with anxiety disorders. ACT is a form of psychotherapy that is statistically proven to be effective in treating anxiety disorders. It is based on the idea that trying to eliminate symptoms of anxiety entirely is often ineffective and can be counterproductive. Instead, ACT focuses on accepting the presence of anxiety while committing to actions that are in line with one’s values. Here is how we use ACT to treat anxiety disorders:

Anxiety Disorder Treatment Approaches

Mindfulness:

Incorporate mindfulness techniques into the therapy sessions. Mindfulness helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment, which can reduce the impact of anxiety symptoms.

Values Clarification:

This helps clients identify their core values and what truly matters to them. This process provides our clients with a sense of purpose and direction, which can be particularly empowering for those struggling with anxiety.

Cognitive Defusion:

We teach cognitive defusion techniques to help our clients separate unhelpful and helpful thoughts. By learning to see thoughts as just mental events rather than truths, our clients reduce the influence of negative thought patterns on their emotions.

Acceptance:

Encourage the individual to accept their anxious thoughts and feelings rather than trying to suppress or control them. ACT emphasizes that it is normal to experience uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and that it is more important to focus on living a fulfilling life despite these feelings.

Committed Action:

Encourage the individual to take actions that align with their values and goals, even in the presence of anxiety. Encouraging them to engage in activities they enjoy and find meaningful can help them build a rich and fulfilling life beyond their anxiety symptoms.

Experiential Exercises:

Use experiential exercises, metaphors, and visualizations to help individuals understand ACT concepts and apply them in their daily lives. These exercises make therapy more engaging and practical.

Relapse Prevention:

Teach individuals strategies for coping with potential setbacks. This includes developing a plan for dealing with stressful situations or practicing mindfulness techniques regularly to maintain emotional balance.

Homework Assignments:

Assign homework to reinforce the concepts discussed during therapy sessions. This might include practicing mindfulness exercises, setting value-based goals, or challenging unhelpful thought patterns.
