View profileAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) belongs to the newer wave of cognitive and behavioural therapies. Rather than trying to remove painful thoughts and feelings, it helps you make room for them and choose actions that reflect what matters to you. This ability is often called psychological flexibility.
Sessions combine mindfulness exercises, defusion techniques (learning to see thoughts as thoughts), work on personal values and small, concrete steps you test in daily life. ACT is used with anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain and rumination, among other difficulties.
The pace and the number of sessions depend on your goals; a therapist trained in ACT will explain how progress is reviewed.
Berlin is one of Europe’s most international cities, and many residents look for ACT in English or in another language they feel at home in. Sessions combine mindfulness exercises, work on personal values and small committed steps that you test between sessions.
Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in person in Berlin when a therapist offers it or online by secure video. Statutory health insurance covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times are often long, so many international residents see a private therapist and pay directly. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based behavioural therapy. Rather than fighting difficult thoughts and feelings, you learn to make room for them, step back from unhelpful thinking and commit to actions guided by your values.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is often used for concerns such as Anxiety, Burnout, Chronic pain, Depression, Life transitions, and Meaning & purpose.
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€150 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
MIT currently lists 1 therapist for this therapy, so you can compare different profiles before deciding.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
