  1. client-centered therapy

    Client-centered therapy is a counseling approach developed by psychologist Carl Rogers in the 1940s and 1950s, that places the client at the center of the therapeutic process. This form of therapy operates on the assumption that each individual has the innate capacity for understanding their emotions and behavior, and thus, can play a major role in their own healing process. The role of the therapist in client-centered therapy is not to direct the client towards specific goals or perspectives, but to offer empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence, thereby creating a safe and non-judgmental environment that facilitates the client's self-discovery and self-acceptance.
