How to find the right therapist in Draper, UT

When choosing a therapist in Draper, UT, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you: Do they accept your insurance? Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma? Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family? Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment. Ready to get started? Click here to browse available therapists who accept your insurance.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary.

No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure?

Understanding online emotionally focused therapy

What is emotionally focused therapy and how does it work?

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) has been shown to be effective in both individuals and couples. It helps people identify and share feelings in new ways. By learning to navigate emotions as a couple or family, your connections can deepen and communication can improve. Online EFT sessions can create a space to better understand your automatic reactions and patterns of relating that may cause pain or problems. With support and guidance, you can reshape entrenched habits into healthy exchanges full of understanding and warmth. The goal is to foster secure, lasting bonds across all your closest relationships.

Emotionally focused therapy may not be the best treatment for your needs. It's important to understand the process and discuss this treatment method with a mental health professional.

Common issues addressed by EFT

EFT can treat relationship distress, attachment issues, and emotional distress. It helps couples and families navigate conflicts, deepen emotional intimacy, and build more resilient, supportive relationships. EFT is also beneficial for people looking to understand their emotional responses and improve personal interactions.

Benefits of online EFT

Online EFT offers the convenience of attending therapy sessions from your home, making it accessible to couples or family members in different locations. It can provide a safe, private environment to explore sensitive relationship dynamics. The online format also broadens access to specialized EFT therapists who may be licensed in your state, but aren’t located in your area.

What to expect during an online EFT session

During an online EFT session, therapists may guide couples or families through discussions and exercises that focus on understanding and expressing emotions. Sessions aim to identify negative interaction patterns and replace them with healthier ways of connecting. The virtual setting allows for flexibility in scheduling, making it easier for all participants to engage in therapy together.

Choosing the right EFT therapist

After you've booked your first session, Rula verifies your insurance coverage and follows up with a cost estimate, including any required copayments.

FAQs about online EFT

How effective is online EFT compared to in-person sessions?

Online emotionally focused therapy can be effective, particularly when therapists successfully create a virtual space conducive to emotional openness. Many therapists on the Rula platform have experience adapting emotionally focused therapy techniques for online formats. While some may prefer in-person interactions, others find online therapy more convenient and less intimidating, which can help make sessions more effective.

Is EFT right for me (or us)?

EFT can aid those struggling with emotional disconnects or conflicts in close relationships. Working individually or jointly with a partner or relatives, EFT offers the possibility of growth and harmony. By building an understanding of underlying feelings and needs, an EFT therapist strives to nurture meaningful connections with care and compassion.

How should I prepare for online EFT sessions?

Emotionally focused therapy involves examining your feelings and relationships. Letting loved ones know you are starting EFT can help them understand this personal work. Be ready to explore emotional reactions and habits in your closest relationships. Though intense feelings may arise when relationship challenges surface, your therapist will facilitate healing with empathy. Progress often requires sitting with discomfort to reach an understanding so you can make connections with those you care about most.

How long does EFT typically last?

The duration of emotionally focused therapy varies, but it’s generally considered a time-limited approach, with many couples or families experiencing improvements within 8 to 20 sessions. The specific length of therapy depends on the unique needs and goals of the participants.

Are there any requirements for participating in online EFT?

You'll need a private, quiet space for uninterrupted video sessions along with a dependable internet connection and a device with a working webcam and microphone. You can commit to the process by keeping appointments, doing techniques at home, journaling progress, and regularly discussing challenges with your therapist.
