Online Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in California
Learn to deepen your emotional awareness and strengthen your connection to yourself and others.
OVERVIEW
What exactly is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a gentle, research-backed approach that helps you understand your emotions and the ways they shape your relationships.
Many of us grow up learning to push down feelings, stay strong for others and avoid conflict at all costs. Over time, this can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and from the people we care about most.
EFT helps you notice the patterns that show up when you feel stressed, anxious or triggered – like shutting down, lashing out or feeling like you have to hold it all together.
Instead of staying stuck in those cycles, EFT guides you toward understanding your underlying needs, like a need for safety, connection or reassurance.
The goal of EFT isn’t to “get rid of” your emotions but to use them as important signals.
With support, you’ll learn how to share your feelings in ways that help you feel heard, understood and connected, both with yourself and in your relationships.

WHAT TO EXPECT
What actually happens during EFT?
-
The first step is building a safe and supportive space where you can begin to talk openly about your emotions and experiences.
-
Together, we’ll look at the recurring patterns or “cycles” that tend to show up in your relationships, especially in times of stress or conflict. These cycles often mask the deeper feelings underneath, like fear of rejection or longing for closeness.
-
EFT helps you access and share the emotions that often remain hidden, like vulnerability, sadness or fear. Naming these feelings brings clarity and can help your loved ones better understand your needs.
-
As you begin to understand and share your emotional experience, you can start to break out of old cycles. This creates space for new, more supportive ways of interacting and responding to one another.
-
Over time, EFT helps build a stronger sense of trust, security and closeness in your relationships. You learn how to communicate more openly and respond to one another with greater empathy and care.
EFT sessions are collaborative and compassionate, with your therapist acting as a guide to help you better understand yourself and your relationships. Here’s how the process usually unfolds:
