How Brittanie integrates EFT and skills work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotional patterns that fuel repeated reactions. In practice this means noticing attachment needs and the feelings beneath arguments or isolation, then trying different ways of responding to those feelings.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to clarify what matters most and set goals that fit real life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concentrates on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It includes concrete exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and develop steady coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brittanie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting how sessions are run and which skills are practiced together over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for different pacing of check-ins. Therapists can use phone or video, or a mix when supported, to match a client's schedule and attention needs.
