How EFT, ACT and CBT translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns. Online sessions can focus on recognizing the feelings that drive difficult relationship and self-image problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and values and then choosing committed actions; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions in short practical exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors and uses concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which works well through step-by-step online practice.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend EFT, ACT, CBT or a mix that fits those goals. This happens collaboratively so clients know why particular techniques are being used and what small changes to try between sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also allow use of mindfulness exercises and skills practice during the week to keep progress moving without requiring in-person visits.
