Summary

This study tests whether a short form of talk therapy called Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Sixty adults with elevated distress will either receive up to 250 minutes of FACT or be placed on a waitlist. Researchers will track changes in mood and stress levels over several months to see if FACT is a practical and helpful option.
