Approaches you might use in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core emotions and attachment needs so they can improve close relationships and feel more connected. It is useful when relationship patterns or deep emotional responses get in the way of daily life.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. These practices help people notice thoughts and bodily signals without getting swept away by them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose methods together. This collaborative process makes it easier to try a method and adjust if it does not fit.
