Models of Therapy & Counseling 

 

 

The following is a list of specific psychotherapy & counseling approaches. Some have been around for many years, others are relatively new. Some have been grounded in research, others in theory, and some rely on anecdotal evidence. Some are popularly accepted, others are cutting edge, and some controversial.  GoodTherapy.org is not in a position to endorse or disapprove any therapy models.  Our intention is to promote the use and awareness of the universal elements of good therapy which can be found across therapies. However, we do reserve the right to exclude models which clearly conflict with the elements of good therapy. We encourage you to explore, research, and discover for yourself which therapies may be a fit for you. We've included links to other sites with information on these models so you can have any easy starting point. We wish you the best on your journey :)

 

For those searching for help, please know that even a healthy model of therapy can be used in an unhealthy way. The therapist you choose is a very important factor in whether a therapy intended to work collaboratively and to empower actually does so. Also, the following list is a work in progress; there are therapies not yet listed here. As we become familiar with other approaches we will add them to this list.  Click here to suggest a model of therapy not already on our list (We receive many requests to add models which are already included. Please confirm that the model you'd like to suggest is not already included).  Thanks :)
