Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in Denver, CO and Online Across Colorado

Reconnect with yourself and your relationships, shift stuck emotional patterns, and build more secure bonds.

So many of us long for deep, safe, loving connection — and so many of us get stuck in patterns that push it away.

Whether you’re navigating conflict with a partner, feeling isolated in your relationships, or struggling with your own inner world, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help.

EFT is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps us understand and shift the emotional patterns that shape how we connect with others — and with ourselves. It’s one of the leading therapies for couples, but it’s just as powerful for individuals.

I’m Bridget Weigel, LPC. I offer EFT therapy in Denver and online throughout Colorado, helping clients create more secure, connected, and fulfilling relationships.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?

EFT is based on attachment science — the idea that we are wired for connection, and that much of our emotional distress comes from experiences of disconnection, insecurity, or unmet emotional needs.

Over time, we develop patterns (often protective) to manage this distress. These patterns may look like:

• Criticism or blame in relationships

• Withdrawal or shutting down

• Fear of being vulnerable or trusting others

• Emotional reactivity or numbness

• Self-sabotage in relationships

• Deep loneliness or anxiety around connection

EFT helps us slow down and explore what’s underneath these patterns. It supports you in identifying core emotions and needs, understanding where they come from, and learning how to express them in ways that foster closeness instead of conflict.

How EFT Works

EFT is gentle but deep work. It’s not about changing who you are — it’s about helping you recognize and shift the patterns that no longer serve you.

Together, we will:

• Explore your emotional cycles and relational patterns

• Identify the core needs driving those patterns

• Build awareness of attachment wounds and how they show up

• Strengthen your capacity to express emotions safely and clearly

• Foster secure, resilient bonds — with yourself and others

The process is adaptive. For some, EFT work may focus on building secure attachment in a romantic relationship. For others, it may center on healing attachment wounds from childhood or learning to cultivate more self-compassion and internal security.

Who is EFT For?

• Couples struggling with conflict, communication breakdown, or disconnection

• Individuals wanting to explore relationship patterns, attachment styles, or emotional reactivity

• Folks healing from childhood emotional wounds

• People navigating new or non-traditional relationships (including ethical non-monogamy)

• Anyone who wants more authentic, emotionally connected relationships — including with themselves

Why I Integrate EFT Into My Work

At its core, I believe therapy is about relationship. Whether we’re working on a partnership, family dynamic, or your relationship with yourself, understanding your emotional world is key.

Emotionally Focused Therapy is one of my primary modalities because it honors that truth. It offers a clear, compassionate framework for helping clients move from disconnection to connection, from reactivity to choice, and from protection to openness.

I use EFT in both individual therapy and couples therapy, blending it with somatic work, EMDR, and other relational approaches based on your needs.
