“My clients often feel like they have been experiencing the same arguments, feeling misunderstood, or wondering if things will ever change. Whether you’re coming in as a couple or an individual, I work best with people who want more than just a place to vent. My style is pragmatic, collaborative, and focused on what actually works for you - helping you understand patterns, practice new skills, and create real change you can feel in your day-to-day life. In couples counseling, I help partners cut through stuck dynamics and get to the heart of what's really going on. Together we will build connection tools that go beyond “talking it out” so you can repair trust, reduce conflict, and reconnect in ways that last. In individual therapy, I work with people who want to better understand themselves, break out of old cycles, and feel more grounded in their choices and relationships.”

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure of who you are or where you’re going, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel grounded and comfortable showing up as you are, without pressure or judgment, while we make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions, my goal is to make you feel supported and respected while you gain insight and confidence in who you are and how to manage whatever comes your way. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults navigating the pressures of school, relationships, identity development, and expectations from others (and themselves). I also specialize in supporting athletes with confidence, focus, motivation, and returning to sport after injury while staying focused on who you are beyond performance.”

“I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Many of my clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD or executive-functioning difficulties, life transitions, relationship concerns, or questions involving identity, purpose, and personal growth. I also work with college students, young adults, athletes, executives, and other professionals seeking improved resilience, focus, confidence, and performance under pressure. My clients are often thoughtful, motivated, and looking to better understand themselves and find greater purpose as they make meaningful changes in their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but privately struggling with stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck. I frequently work with those who are driven and capable, yet find themselves dealing with burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty sustaining focus and momentum. These individuals often want not just symptom relief, but a deeper understanding of how to perform—and live—at their best.”

“I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck. Many of the clients I support are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, loneliness, grief, or difficulties understanding and meeting their own needs. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel that something needs to change, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, develop new tools, and feel supported. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest, vulnerable, and empowered to move forward. I work with couples and families who are navigating challenges such as communication struggles, relationship stress, life transitions, conflict, and feeling disconnected from one another. I support couples who want to strengthen their relationship, rebuild understanding, and create healthier patterns of connection. Together, we can work toward greater understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.”

LICSW

Licensed In:
Massachusetts
“I work with people of all ages and have a special interest in how online life (social media, gaming, online dating, etc.) impacts our mental health and self-image. As a queer person myself, I understand the importance of feeling seen, safe, and understood, and aim to offer that to every client I meet. A big part of my work is helping folks build a better relationship with their bodies — whether you're fat, thin, in between, transitioning, aging, disabled, or just feeling disconnected from yourself. I approach body image through the lens of fat acceptance and body liberation, and together we can explore what it means to live in your body without shame, pressure, or apology.”

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.
