“As an Asian American you did everything right and built a good life, but something feels off. More hours and more money and yet it still won't fill the void. You're exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and unsure what comes next. This is common and you're not alone. Many face quiet pressure to achieve while suppressing inner struggles, sometimes from cultural stigma around seeking help. My practice specializes in supporting Asian Americans on this journey. Together we'll restore grounding, clarity, self-trust—building a life aligned with what matters most.”

LPC-S, MT-BC

Licensed In:
Arizona, Louisiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas
“I work with high-functioning adults and couples who may look successful on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship wounds, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, grief, or a deep sense of disconnection from themselves. Many of my clients are helpers, creatives, professionals, therapists, musicians, caregivers, and highly sensitive people who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else. I also work with adults healing from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic abuse, emotionally immature family systems, and experiences that still live in the body long after the events are over. My practice is especially supportive for clients who want more than traditional talk therapy and are drawn to experiential, somatic, creative, and trauma-focused approaches that help create lasting emotional and nervous system change.”

EdD, LCSW

“You love your child deeply, but parenting feels harder than you ever expected. Maybe you are exhausted by constant power struggles, worried about your child's anxiety, big emotions, or behavior, or wondering why the strategies that seem to work for other families just are not working in yours. You may be carrying the weight of adoption, foster care, trauma, having a neurodivergent child no one else understands, or your coming to terms with your own childhood experiences while trying to be the parent you want to be. I work with parents who want things to feel different. You may know what is happening does not feel right, but not know how to shift it. Together, we will make sense of what brought you to therapy, maybe your child's unique nervous system, maybe your own experience of trauma as a child, while also strengthening your relationships, and building practical strategies that help your whole family feel more connected, confident, and supported.”

Chrysalis Counseling

LMSW, LCSW

Licensed In:

“You feel like your emotions are too much for other people. You struggle to speak up and feel confident in yourself. As a result, you keep a lot in and just try your best to put a smile on your face and keep going. You often wonder if other people feel this way. You think that there is something wrong with you for having a big heart and caring too much in a world that seems scary and cruel. It may be difficult to feel connected to others and lonely. You're not sure if anyone really cares as much as you do. You feel if people were to really see you, they would not want to be around you and will leave.”

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.
