How Martha applies EFT and other approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working through powerful emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people understand how feelings shape behavior and relationship reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies for managing symptoms and building new habits.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Martha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean focusing more on feelings with EFT at times, or using CBT or ACT exercises when practical skills are needed.
