Who is a good candidate for ACT?

Kevin Mangelschots·10/06/2025·0 comments

Ask yourself:

  1. Am I willing to try new ways of relating to my thoughts and feelings?
  2. Am I open to exploring my values and taking meaningful action?
  3. Do I struggle with avoiding or controlling my emotions instead of accepting them?
  4. Am I looking for a long-term strategy rather than just symptom relief?

If you answered yes to these questions, ACT may be an excellent fit for you!

ACT might not be the best approach if you:

  1. Prefer highly structured, logic-based therapy like CBT.
  2. Want a quick fix for your issues.
  3. Need immediate symptom reduction due to a crisis.

Hi there, I’m Kevin Mangelschots! A little more about myself: - I'm 33 years old. - I’m a registered, licensed, and practicing therapist with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy. - Currently practicing at a rehabilitation center located in Belgium. Longtime fitness and gaming enthusiast. - Turned towards psychology, philosophy, mental health, and self-improvement to improve my chronic depression. - My goal is to share evidence-based information with the world that I know is helpful and useful to improve depression and overall well-being. In short, I’m just a guy trying to make sense of the world by thinking about ideas, studying psychology, philosophy, and mental and physical health. I strive to apply my degree in healthcare (occupational therapy) to explain concepts as clearly as possible, based on current research findings.
