Approaches used online and how they help
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions that influence relationship patterns and personal reactions. It can help people who want to understand why they react the way they do and how emotions shape close connections.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and clarifying values to guide action. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and making behavioral changes that matter to the client.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to explain how people relate to others. It can be useful when attachment issues affect intimacy, communication, or caregiving roles.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as work progresses.
