Types of Psychotherapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach, which helps dysfunctional emotions, maladaptive behaviors, and cognitive processes through systematic procedures. Usually, a client and a counselor sit in face to face to have dialogue.

Psychoanalytic Therapy
Psychoanalytic therapy is based on the theory developed by Sigmund Freud. Through analyzing thoughts, a counselor examines a client's hidden emotions and find the causes of the problem. A client may be lying down on the couch while a counselor is sitting in a chair next to the client.
