Using EFT, ACT, and CBT in online sessions
Dr. Rushing blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate to remote work. EFT helps name and respond to intense emotions so patterns become easier to recognize and change. ACT emphasizes values and accepting difficult feelings while taking concrete steps toward what matters. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to what the client wants to change and how they prefer to work.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and keeping momentum between appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and the platform. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and practice skills in day-to-day settings while still working with a licensed professional.
