Approaches for emotion and attachment work online
Rita works from approaches that focus on emotions and how relationships shape them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at feelings and attachment patterns to help people understand repeated relationship reactions and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take values-based action in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early bonding and its effect on current relationships to identify patterns that cause distress.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Rita will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether EFT, ACT, or another method best matches the immediate goals and practical needs of therapy.
