Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.

Different therapeutic approaches are effective with different clients. Popular therapeutic approaches include dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapy. These approaches each have their own principles and techniques that help clients to address their concerns, and reach their therapeutic goals.

It’s important for therapists to work collaboratively with their clients to choose an approach that fits the client’s needs and preferences. A strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient is essential to effective therapy. This alliance should be based on empathy, trust and collaboration. Clients can develop positive life changes by working in a non-judgmental and supportive environment.
