How Vanessa applies EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and naming feelings and interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when emotions are intense or hard to put into words and when relationship patterns need to shift.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner experiences, clarify values, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes where behavior change matters.
Attachment-Based approaches focus on how early and current relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. This work can help people see why certain triggers feel so big and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vanessa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, preferences, and goals. That choice may change as the work progresses and as different issues come up.
