• Combines aspects of mindfulness and acceptance with behavioral interventions
• Emphasizes values as the compass for our behaviors
• Incorporates skills to help clients unhook from negative thought patterns
• Can be used as a comprehensive model or parts of it can be incorporated into other therapeutic modalities
