| Local Individual Therapists is the leading website for connecting new patients with Individual Therapists. A Individual Therapist is someone trained to help people by interacting with them and helping them work through things they see as a problem. There are several different methods a Individual Therapist may use, but the most common are Psychoanalytic, Jungian, and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy.
Psychoanalytic therapy focuses on helping a client gain access to their subconscious, this can be done through dream analysis, free association, interpretation, and analysis of resistance and transference.
Jungian therapy, also called non-psychoanalytic therapy, is a way of helping a client make connections with their feelings and discover who they are. There is more of a focus on “the big picture” rather than each day-to-day problem a client may be facing.
Cognitive-Behavior therapy works with the premise that thinking, questioning, and doing leads to the changes needed for recovery. The focus with cognitive-behavior therapy is that it is a "move-forward" approach and often lacks exploration of the deeper emotional issues that led to negative behaviors and thoughts in the first place. There can also be Behavior Modification Therapy on its own where as the client focuses on changing behaviors through practice. |
