How Mary uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Mary uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients identify and name feelings that are driving difficult relationship and personal patterns. EFT focuses on emotional experience and how it affects connections with others, which can be useful for recurring conflict or hard-to-name distress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage clarity about values and committed action. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small behavior changes that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to examine how early bonds shape current trust, closeness, and communication patterns.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. They may emphasize emotional processing, skill-building, or both depending on the person’s needs.
