Using EFT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and attachment patterns to clarify how feelings influence relationships and behavior. It can be useful for people who want to name hard-to-identify emotions and notice how those feelings shape interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to unhelpful behavior and testing new ways of responding. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and behavior change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and priorities, keeping sessions directed by what matters most to the person.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of EFT, CBT, and client-centered work so the sessions match what the client wants to address.
