Emotion-Focused Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) in Texas
Do you ever feel like your emotions take over before you even have a chance to think? Maybe you find yourself reacting in ways that surprise you — angry, shut down, or overwhelmed — and later wonder why you can’t seem to “control” it. You’re not alone. In fact, research shows that nearly 1 in 3 adults struggle to manage their emotions in healthy ways, especially when stress or past trauma are involved.
That’s where Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) can help.
As a Texas-based therapist, I use EFT to help people understand, process, and work with their emotions rather than against them. I believe our emotions aren’t the problem — they’re signals. They’re trying to tell us what we need, what we value, and where we’ve been hurt. When we ignore or push down those feelings, we lose connection with ourselves and with the people who matter most.
Through EFT, I help my clients:
Recognize and name emotions more clearly.
Understand what their emotions are communicating.
Regulate and calm overwhelming feelings.
Heal from emotional pain rooted in past experiences.
Develop healthier ways to cope with stress, conflict, and life changes.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EFT works directly with the emotion itself as a path to healing. Instead of fighting your emotions, you learn to listen to them — and that shift can change everything.
If you’ve ever said, “I don’t know why I feel this way,” or “I wish I could stop reacting like that,” Emotion-Focused Therapy can help you find balance again. Together, we’ll increase your awareness, separate helpful emotions from hurtful ones, and use healthy emotions to guide your choices moving forward.
Whether you’re in Texarkana or anywhere in Texas, I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions to help you build a better relationship with your emotions — and with yourself.
If you’re ready to stop being controlled by your feelings and start using them as tools for growth, I’d love to help. Contact me today to learn more about how Emotion-Focused Therapy in Texas can help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your emotional world.
