Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT at its core is about building psychological flexibilty. It is a type of therapy that works with the client in building acceptance of negative thoughts, feelings, sensations, and circumnstances.
In ACT therapy, there are six components: self-as-context, mindfulness, values, experiential acceptance, cognitive defusion, and committed action. Each one allows the client to start navigating issues independently.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT was originally created by Marsha Linehan for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder but has proven to be effective for many disorders. It helps to build acceptance of reality and reduce living at extremes. Dialectic means that there are two simultaneous yet opposing truths. For example, you may really love the people in your life and find them annoying at times. Both can be true simultaneously.
DBT is about building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is considered the most effective treatment for OCD and BDD. It involves working with your clinician to slowly build exposure (approaching a feared situation/thought/feeling)to obsessions and reducing engagement in compulsions. In doing so, it allows your brain to learn and recategorize these feared situations as not dangerous to approach using a process known as inhibitory learning.
