Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to respond differently. It can be especially helpful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and habit patterns that feel hard to shift.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured approach that helps people understand emotional needs and create more secure, connected interactions. It is often used to support relationship concerns, conflict cycles, and feeling stuck in the same arguments. The Gottman Method adds research-informed tools to strengthen communication, reduce escalation, and build day-to-day habits that support healthier relationships.
