Summary

This study tests whether acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), delivered via online video calls, can help stroke survivors adjust emotionally. Five adults who had a stroke over three months ago will attend weekly 90-minute group sessions for eight weeks. Researchers will track changes in psychological flexibility and mood using questionnaires before, during, and up to six months after therapy.
