The Integrative Approach in Counseling
The Integrative Approach to counseling combines theories and practices from various therapeutic models to create a tailored approach for each client's needs. This flexibility allows therapists to apply a broad range of techniques to address the complexity of human behavior and psychological distress. Key principles include therapeutic alliance, flexibility in technique application, and a holistic view of the individual. Integrative therapy is particularly effective for clients with complex issues that do not fit neatly into a single theoretical model.
