How Anastasiia uses EFT, ACT and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns those emotions create. It is often used when relationship patterns or attachment worries make feelings hard to express.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that fit a person’s values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That discussion guides how sessions are structured and what exercises are used between meetings.
