What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)?

EFT is an evidence-based approach that helps couples and families identify negative interaction cycles, increase emotional safety, and build secure connection through reach, response, and repair.

Do you include faith in therapy?

Yes—if you request it. Faith-sensitive care remains client-led, respectful, and integrated in ways that support your goals.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

No. Sessions are telehealth-only for residents of North Carolina.

Do you prescribe medication?

No. As a marriage and family therapist, I do not prescribe medication. When appropriate, I coordinate care and provide referrals to psychiatric services.

Lyle Williams, LMFT - Supervisor Candidate

Telehealth for couples, families, and individuals across North Carolina

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and U.S. military veteran, certified in Gestalt Psychotherapy and trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.). In plain language: I help individuals, couples, and families heal emotional wounds and steady their relationships. With individuals, I focus on present-moment awareness and attachment needs so communication becomes clearer and choices calmer. With couples and families, I use EFT to reduce negative cycles and rebuild trust. When trauma symptoms feel “stuck,” I offer A.R.T., a structured, image-based protocol that can reduce distress quickly.

As a marriage and family therapist, I do not prescribe medication. Some clients benefit from medical support for severe symptoms; when that’s the case, I coordinate care and provide referrals to psychiatric services.

On a personal note, I’m a husband, father, and a believer in God (YHWH), Jesus (Yeshua), and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh). I became a therapist because I’ve seen the difference it makes to have someone steady and skilled to talk to when it matters; and the harm that follows when good care isn’t available. My purpose is to help people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I have been humbled and blessed to do this work, and I hope our paths may cross if you are looking for support.

Best Regards,
