How Lesley integrates EFT, ACT and CBT online
Lesley draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and track patterns in emotions and interactions. EFT work often focuses on identifying hard-to-name feelings and the ways those feelings shape responses to stress and relationships.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take steps toward them, even when emotions or doubts show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for mood and anxiety management.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss options and use the methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it easier to schedule around work or family responsibilities and to keep momentum between in-person appointments when that is helpful.
