Colorado, Massachusetts
“As a therapist, I specialize in supporting young adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions, relationships, and challenges. My client-centered approach explores root causes while building practical coping skills for daily life. Using a trauma-informed lens, I integrate yoga-based mindfulness and somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and deeper healing. Psychodynamic and narrative therapy help us understand how your worldview was shaped and how it influences your present. We may also incorporate IFS based parts work to gently explore and understand the different parts of your inner experience. With training in the Gottman Method, I help couples strengthen communication, connection, and trust. Together we focus on deepening friendship while managing the practical demands of partnership. You’ll learn tools for healthy conflict resolution and collaboration, remembering you are on the same team.”

Little Blue Sky Wellness

LMFT

Licensed In:
Massachusetts, Rhode Island
“Many of the couples I work with feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift, having the same arguments on repeat, feeling emotionally out of sync, or carrying the invisible labor of maintaining a shared life while sensing a growing distance. You may notice that the intimacy, ease, or sense of “us” that you once had feels harder to access lately, or that work, family, and responsibilities leave little space for real connection. If you’ve been wondering where that closeness has gone, you are far from alone. I specialize in helping couples reconnect, rebuild trust, and find their way back to each other.”

Lauren Lowenthal

Clarity Counseling Associates

LMHC

Licensed In:
Washington
“I specialize in working with women who are caught up in people pleasing and associated behaviors such as making yourself ‘small’, not prioritizing your needs, all while being very self-critical. These unhelpful beliefs can result in anxiety, depression, and burnout while continuing to erode self-worth. More broadly, I have expertise in helping clients with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. My additional specialties include: Career/Workplace: job loss, work-life balance, communicating with difficult bosses, and Loving your Introversion: Western cultures tend to favor extroverted personalities which can lead to anxiety or lowered self-esteem for introverts.”

Jen Joseph

Jen Joseph Sex + Relationship Therapy

LMFT, CST

Licensed In:
California, Oregon
“I work primarily with couples navigating sexual issues, infidelity, and relationship crossroads — including couples on the brink of divorce who aren't sure whether to stay or go. Many come to me after a betrayal that has shaken everything, or around sexual disconnection, mismatched desire, or questions about what they want that they've never felt comfortable enough to ask out loud. I also work with individuals who want to understand and embody their sexuality more deeply and become more self-expressed in all areas of life, and those struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior. I'm LGBTQ+ and kink-affirming, and competent in working with ethically non-monogamous relationships. If you're dealing with something too intimate or complicated to bring to just anyone, you're in the right place.”

Valor Counseling Center

LMFTA

Licensed In:
North Carolina
“I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. I especially serve first responders, military members, and their families facing chronic stress, trauma exposure, relationship strain, or the emotional toll of service. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying too much alone. Some struggle with unresolved trauma, intrusive thoughts, burnout, or depression. Others are facing relationship challenges, loss, or identity shifts. You may appear high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling anxious, numb, or alone. If you want to address root issues and not just manage symptoms, I offer a compassionate space to process, heal, and build resilience so you can feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful.”

About Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Use the directory above to find a therapist who offers this approach. Compare profiles for their approach, availability, fees, and insurance.

Select the states where you’ll attend sessions, then ask the therapist to confirm they can work with you in each state.

What to expect

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapy approach that looks at how emotions, needs, and relationship patterns shape the way people connect. It is often used in couples therapy, and some therapists also use EFT with individuals or families. In online sessions, your therapist may help you slow down difficult conversations, notice the cycle you get caught in, name the feelings underneath conflict, and practice clearer ways of reaching for support. People often explore EFT when they want help with relationship distress, recurring arguments, emotional distance, trust concerns, life transitions, or feeling stuck in protective patterns. If you want therapy that pays close attention to emotions and connection, this approach may be worth exploring.

How to choose a therapist

As you compare online EFT therapists, look for someone whose profile explains how they use this approach and what kinds of clients or relationships they commonly work with. Fit matters: pacing, communication style, comfort with emotion, and how structured the sessions feel can all affect your experience. Before booking, you might ask whether the therapist offers EFT-informed therapy, how they work with couples or individuals online, what to expect in the first few sessions, and how they handle moments when conversations become intense. You can also ask about training or experience with EFT.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Questions about this approach

How do I use this page to find an online therapist who offers Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

Start by choosing the state where you will be located during sessions. Then use filters for service type, age group, language, insurance, and therapy type. Read profiles for how each provider describes EFT, who they work with, and whether they offer individual, couples, or family therapy online. From there, compare availability, fees, and consultation options before reaching out.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask how the therapist uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), what the first few sessions are usually like, and whether their approach is more structured or exploratory. If you are coming with a partner or family member, ask how they manage joint sessions online. It can also help to ask about fees, insurance, cancellation policies, privacy for telehealth, and whether they offer a brief consultation.

Does my therapist have to be licensed in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

In most cases, your therapist must be allowed to practice where you are physically located at the time of session, not just where you live. If you travel or split time between states, tell potential therapists before booking. Some providers can work across more than one state, while others cannot. Learn more about finding a therapist licensed in multiple states.

Can Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) be done virtually through telehealth therapy?

Yes, many therapists offer Emotionally Focused Therapy through secure video sessions. Online EFT may involve talking through relationship patterns, practicing slower and more direct communication, and noticing emotions as they happen in session. For couples or families, each person needs a private, reliable place to join. Ask how the therapist structures online sessions and what they recommend if emotions run high.

Who is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) best for, and is it only for couples?

EFT is often associated with couples who want help with conflict, disconnection, trust, or feeling stuck in the same argument. It may also be used with individuals or families, depending on the therapist’s practice. This approach may fit if you want to understand the emotions underneath your reactions and build safer, clearer connection. Review profiles to see who each therapist serves.

Do Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapists need special certification or training?

A therapist should be licensed to provide mental health care in the state where you are located for sessions. Beyond licensure, EFT training and certification can vary. Some providers may have completed formal EFT training, while others use EFT-informed ideas in their work. Before booking, ask how they learned the approach, how often they use it, and whether their experience fits your goals.

Does insurance cover online Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and how does payment usually work?

Coverage depends on your insurance plan, the therapist’s network status, your location, and the type of service provided. Use insurance filters when available, then confirm directly with the provider before your first appointment. Ask about session fees, superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, payment timing, and any cancellation fees. For couples therapy, also ask whether your plan covers relational or family sessions.

When is online Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away. You can return to online EFT once safety and privacy needs are better supported.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
