Types of Approaches and Therapies in Counseling, Navigation

This page features all the articles on my website related to therapy types and approaches. I’ve organized them in a way that makes them easy to find. While most of my readers are clients rather than therapists, learning about different types of therapy can help them choose the approach that best fits their needs.

Note, that every main page of approach or therapy type not only provides a general information about it but also additional links to detailed information. If you think that some information is missing or you can’t find it on internet, please contact me.
