How Marsha Uses EFT, Attachment Work and CBT Online
Marsha lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her methods. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create in close relationships. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current emotional responses and connection needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior or thinking experiments to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marsha will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. The plan can change over time based on what the client finds most helpful, and decisions are made collaboratively.
