Online support

How Mary-Catherine Uses EFT, ACT, and CBT Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and changing emotional responses in relationships and personal patterns. Online EFT work helps people notice their feelings, name them, and try new ways of responding to close others or to themselves. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take committed steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying values and building action plans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often start with exploring a client's main concerns, then trying techniques and adjusting as progress is seen.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care.
