How his approaches translate to online work
Roger uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name the emotions that shape their relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions and attachment needs show up in interactions and helps try new responses that change stuck cycles.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationship experiences influence current bonds and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities and perspectives, with the therapist following the client’s lead to clarify goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roger will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting the plan as sessions progress.
