Eclectic Therapy

Eclectic therapy is a highly personalized therapeutic approach tailored to meet the individual client’s needs. It combines a variety of treatment orientations, techniques, and philosophies to create a custom program. Rather than adhering to a specific therapeutic approach, an eclectic therapist is flexible, using whichever techniques work best for a client. An eclectic therapist will usually balance listening and advice giving, as well as use all techniques that are available to them to treat their clients as successfully as possible. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s eclectic therapy specialists today.

Eclectic therapy is integrative and adapts to the client's needs. It depends on the client's presenting problem, the treatment goals, the clients' motivation, and expectations.

— Benita Tonti, Licensed Professional Counselor

As an avid user of eclectic therapy, I excel at integrating the most relevant techniques from diverse therapeutic modalities to create highly effective, individualized treatment plans.

My flexible and eclectic client-centered strategy ensures comprehensive and tailored therapeutic experiences, addressing each person's distinct challenges and fostering optimal outcomes.

I don't believe therapy is “one size fits all.” Over 20 years in the field, I've developed a large toolbox & we’ll pull out different strategies/techniques as we need them: existential, CBT, art, internal & external family systems, couples/relational, play... and my very own modality– TALKyoga©: a unique integration of classic talk therapy (a.k.a. psychotherapy, counseling, therapy) with yoga & meditation/mindfulness techniques. Together we'll get creative & come up with the best plan for YOU.

— Alex Kawliche, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Tampa, FL

My approach to therapy is that we are all unique and complex beings, and it is rare that one fixed treatment is the right one for everyone all the time. I like to incorporate a variety of styles depending on the client and the situation, and above all I believe you are the expert on your own experience. You already contain the capacity to heal and grow yourself; I am just here to remind you it is there.

Eclectic Therapy is a person centered style of therapy that utilizes aspects from more than one therapeutic model, based on the client's individual needs. Eclectic Therapy with one therapist may look different from how it looks with another therapist, as they may choose to combine different types of therapy models.

I welcome feedback from my clients, and if something isn't working for you, then we'll find something better together.

— Raven Hoover, Licensed Professional Counselor in Allentown, PA

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

— Tammy 'Kaia' Bruski, Sex Therapist in Denver, CO
 

An eclectic theoretical approach is utilized to meet the varied needs of clients. Clients like their issues are unique, and because of this uniqueness, clients require different levels of interactions, and counseling approaches. Eclectic therapy is not a concrete or rigid model. Instead it encompasses an array of interventions to meet the needs of the client.

— Deahdra Chambers, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Biscoe, NC

I offer a unique and eclectic blend of different practices as there is no 'one size fits all' approach that works for all. Drawing from the best of conventional & alternative medicine, holistic nursing's connection & caring perspective, cross-cultural wisdom tradition philosophies, various psychological theories including imaginal process, depth, transpersonal & the human potential movement. I blend that further with practical 'here and now' skills you can use in your world.
