The various types of therapy include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, humanistic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. CBT focuses on the thoughts and behaviors of the individual and emphasizes how these thoughts and behaviors can be changed to produce positive results. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the underlying psychological forces that shape behavior and emotions. Interpersonal therapy focuses on a person's relationships with others around them and how these relationships help them to better manage their emotions. Humanistic therapy is focused on the whole individual, in recognizing their strengths and helping to shape a fulfilling and meaningful approach to life. Solution-focused therapy focuses on making small adjustments that result in positive outcomes. In each type of therapy, the goal is to bring about positive change in the client and help them to better cope with their problems.
