COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that can help treat a variety of mental health conditions and physical issues:
Mental health conditions: CBT can help with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and PTSD.
Physical conditions: CBT can help with chronic pain, tinnitus, and rheumatism.
Chronic health issues: CBT can help with chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
CBT is a combination of cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. It involves working with a mental health professional in a structured way to:
Identify and challenge negative or inaccurate thinking
Learn practical self-help strategies
Change or modify behavior
Break down problems into smaller, more manageable parts
Develop a better understanding of challenging situations
CBT is problem-oriented and focuses on working through current problems. It's different from analytical psychotherapy, which focuses on discovering the cause of problems.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people learn to manage their emotions and improve their relationships. DBT is often used to treat people with mental health conditions that involve emotional regulation problems, such as:
Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Depression
Eating disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Self-harming behaviors
Substance use disorders
DBT was originally developed in the 1970s and 1980s by psychologist Marsha Linehan. It's based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) but is adapted for people who have difficulty regulating their emotions.
DBT helps people develop skills to: Understand and accept difficult feelings, Tolerate distress, Improve relationships, and Avoid harmful behaviors.
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps people learn to accept their thoughts and feelings and adjust their behaviors to match their values. ACT is based on the idea that it's not possible to eliminate negative experiences, but people can learn to adapt to them in a productive way.
SOLUTION AND PERSON FOCUSED THERAPY
While both solution-focused therapy (SFT) and person-centered therapy are client-centered approaches, the key difference lies in their focus: SFT primarily focuses on identifying and building upon a client's existing strengths and potential solutions to future problems, while person-centered therapy emphasizes creating a supportive environment for the client to explore their own self-awareness and understanding of their experiences, with the therapist largely reflecting back their feelings and perspectives
