Whole Worth Counseling

LMFT, LPC, LMHC

Licensed In:
Oregon, Washington
“I work with individuals and relationships who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how they got where they are. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, burnout, relationship challenges, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve them. I work well with people who are ready to better understand themselves and their relationships, even if they don’t yet know exactly what needs to change. Whether you’re coming alone or with partners or family, our work focuses on creating space to feel seen, understood, and supported while moving toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned and intentional.”

Thriving Hearts Therapy

LCSW

Licensed In:
Utah
“Parenthood may not have unfolded the way you expected. Instead of joyful milestones, you may be carrying the weight of a traumatic birth, NICU stay, pregnancy complications, postpartum anxiety, infertility, loss, or the challenges of raising a medically complex child. While others see how far you've come, you're still carrying fear, grief, guilt, or overwhelm. You don't have to navigate it alone. I help parents process difficult experiences, heal from trauma, and find a path forward so they can feel more grounded, connected, and confident in themselves and their lives. I specialize in helping parents heal from trauma, navigate anxiety, and cope with the unique challenges of medical parenting. Together, we'll process what you've been through, develop practical tools for the present, and help you reconnect with yourself beyond survival mode. The experiences that brought you here may always be part of your story, but they don't have to define your future. You deserve a space where your pain is seen and your healing matters.”

The Lantern Room

LCSW

Licensed In:
California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia
“I work with adults, including LGBTQIA+ clients, who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, and patterns that feel hard to shift even when insight is present. Many clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or disconnection from themselves or relationships. I also work with therapists, healthcare professionals, and creative professionals who carry complex emotional loads in their work and need a place where they do not have to perform competence. A lot of the work involves people who are trying to understand longstanding relational patterns or identity-related questions in a more grounded and sustainable way.”

Ember Psychotherapy Collective

LPC

Licensed In:
Colorado, Florida, Washington, DC
“Many of my clients may look successful on the outside but feel stuck in the same painful patterns underneath. They find themselves overthinking relationships, questioning their worth, people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, and disconnection. They know something needs to change, but they're not sure how to get there. For over 18 years, I've helped individuals understand the deeper roots of these struggles and create lasting change. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep showing up in your life—not with judgment or shame, but with curiosity and compassion.”

Barker Counseling, PLLC

LCMHC, LPCC, LPC

Licensed In:
North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina
“You often feel unsupported or not quite seen by others. You're there for others when they're going through a hard time, but find it hard to ask for help yourself-maybe because you don't feel worthy or don't want to be a burden. Dealing with concerns like past trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, body image, disordered eating, or relational stress is isolating & feels overwhelming to manage alone. You want deeper connections, but don't know where to start & fear being judged. Or if you're a therapist yourself, you may want the extra support of being in therapy! I specialize in body image/disordered eating work, as well as trauma and complex/traumatic grief. I also provide specific treatment for therapists, first responders, parents of children with eating disorders, and people becoming caregivers for loved ones.”

Kate Tune

Wildroot Relationship Therapy PLLC

LMFT

Licensed In:
Colorado, Illinois
“I’m a marriage and family therapist who works through a systemic and attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape how we experience ourselves and others. Early emotional environments teach us ways to cope and connect, but those strategies aren’t always sustainable. Therapy offers a space to explore and reshape those patterns. I specialize in working with couples and new parents navigating disconnection, communication challenges, and identity shifts. I also support individuals, adolescents, children, and families in learning to move through emotions rather than around them, building confidence, resilience, and secure connections.”

Julianne Mattson Krogstad

Headwaters of Healing Therapy, PLLC

LMFT

Licensed In:
Alaska, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin
“I work with couples who are desiring to strengthen their relationship and also who may have some stuck patterns that feel discouraging to them. I also work with adult individuals who find that despite their best efforts, they feel like they can't get to a place of peace and contentment in their relationships or even within themselves. They find themselves feeling like they are spinning their wheels, trying harder, but still not quite able to be who they know they could be. Often they are quite competent at work, but find challenges in their interpersonal relationships and find themselves caught up in remorse or self-condemnation, thinking if they could just try harder or be more consistent they would finally get it right. They often have hurts around family of origin dynamics or church systems and feel a sense of inadequacy and not measuring up. I work with clients who would like spiritual direction. This is separate from therapy and is not regulated by therapy licensing boards. This is detailed more on my website.”

Alexa Yassi

Phoenix Rising Counseling Center

LMFT

Licensed In:
Arizona, Wisconsin
“I work with adults and couples who are ready to move beyond simply coping and begin understanding themselves more deeply. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, autism, life transitions, grief, burnout, or a persistent feeling of being stuck despite years of insight and self reflection. I especially enjoy working with individuals who have spent much of their lives caring for others while struggling to identify and honor their own needs. My clients are often thoughtful, capable, and self aware, yet find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves and others. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and offer faith integrated counseling for those who would like their Christian faith incorporated into the therapeutic process.”

Haven of Healing for Youth & Families

LISW-CP, LICDC

Licensed In:
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont
“I work with adolescents and adults who may look like they’re handling everything on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of what comes next. Many of my clients are navigating trauma or PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, major life transitions, career uncertainty, identity concerns, or the emotional and physical changes that can accompany menopause. I’m especially well suited for clients who want more than a place to vent. You may want to better understand why you think, feel, or respond the way you do, recognize patterns, learn practical tools, and be appropriately challenged along the way. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin exactly where you are and work together to determine where you want to go.”

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.
