How Gerald uses EFT, CBT and motivational interviewing online
Gerald commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in his work. EFT focuses on identifying and working with emotions and attachment patterns in relationships, which can help when feelings are hard to name. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through practical skills and experiments. Motivational interviewing concentrates on supporting a person's readiness to change, useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, or making difficult decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gerald will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means trying practical steps, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so sessions stay focused and relevant.
