Using EFT, ACT and CBT in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It often helps people who find it hard to put feelings into words or notice repeating emotional responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to actions that match those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors feed each other and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lindsey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean more emotion-focused conversation some weeks and skill practice other weeks. The process is flexible and shaped by the client’s needs.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the therapist’s profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises and homework so they work well across different session styles.
