Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy LIVE Workshop
This professional development workshop is a live, instructor-led virtual training designed to equip practitioners, counselors, facilitators, and professionals with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to enhance client engagement and promote meaningful behavioral change.
Through discussion, reflection, and interactive exercises, participants will explore the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while learning strategies that foster resilience, acceptance, and self-compassion.
Participants will learn to:
-
Define the core principles and applications of CBT and ACT
-
Recognize negative thinking loops and their influence on emotions and behavior
-
Apply ACT processes—acceptance, present-moment awareness, values clarification, and committed action—to foster growth and psychological flexibility
-
Implement strategies that help clients “re-parent” or reframe destructive self-talk
-
Identify and address common barriers such as blame, guilt, shame, and unforgiveness
-
Integrate CBT and ACT tools into trauma-informed and culturally responsive practice
This workshop provides a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive framework for working with diverse populations, including individuals impacted by trauma, domestic violence, or high-conflict environments.
Join us to expand your skills, strengthen your facilitation, and help clients create lasting, transformative change.

For several years now, my program, Alternative Behavior Choices, which we offer in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere through Zoom, has incorporated key elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We had always used ACT in a general way, but after published studies, using random assignment to condition research methodology, found this approach to be effective in reducing rates of domestic violence recidivism, we began to integrate it more systematically into our curriculum. It is an extremely practical form of CBT, very much compatible with traditional CBT tools such as cognitive logs, etc., along with meditation and other stress reduction exercises. Take this training!
