Calgary ACT Therapists

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that teaches you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them, while committing to actions aligned with your values. Unlike CBT, which focuses on changing thought content, ACT focuses on changing your relationship to your thoughts. It's effective for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, OCD, and substance use.

What to look for: Ask the therapist how they integrate the six core ACT processes (acceptance, defusion, present moment, self-as-context, values, committed action). Some therapists use ACT loosely as a framework; others deliver structured ACT protocols. Both can work depending on your needs.

Jackie Larkin Counselling · Douglasdale

I support individuals in Calgary and virtually across Alberta with adult ADHD, perimenopause and menopause, burnout, self-esteem, life transitions, and anxiety. Maybe you’re navigating a career change, working through a challenge in your relationship, adjusting to hormonal changes and a shifting relationship with your body, or making sense of an ADHD diagnosis as an adult. Or maybe there isn’t one clear issue; you simply feel ready to know yourself more deeply or experience your life differently. Whatever brings you here, you don’t need to have a perfectly defined goal in order to start. We can sort through it together. Real people, real conversations. My approach is grounded in both insight and action, which means connecting what we explore in therapy with how you want to live outside of it. Together, we'll find creative and intentional ways to bridge self-reflection and awareness with practical planning and meaningful next steps. Our focus is on progress, not perfection. I believe the connection we build is at the heart of therapy. That shapes how I show up with clients—not as some distant expert, but as someone who is genuinely curious to learn about you while creating a space where you can show up as you are. I bring both lived experience and clinical training to my work, with a style that's warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative.
