I have been following ACT sessions for a year. I thought it was a valuable set of ideas.

The whole point of ACT is to discover and strive for one's own values. The therapist was wrong, and completely anti-ACT, to try to impose values on you.
You can pursue ACT on your own, via self-study and practice. The main idea being to take steps to achieve your goals, regardless of what thoughts and feelings are going through your mind. So: good job asking her to accompany you!!
