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.

I believe that in Counseling it is not one size fits all. Most of my clients come in needing a level of listening, problem solving, and tools development but how that manifests is not cookie cutter.

— Jessica McMath, Licensed Professional Counselor in Philadelphia, PA

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It is a flexible and multifaceted approach to therapy that allows me to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client's needs.

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 an approach that allows the therapist to use different methods to cater to the client's individual needs. While addressing the client's needs, the therapist, when needed, will utilize multiple theoretical orientations to help maximize the client's potential to gain insights by drawing upon different forms of learning. I believe the flexibility in eclectic therapy enables the therapist-client relationship to develop a treatment plan best suited for the client.

My approach draws from the insight and wisdom of several different theories, which includes attachment, cognitive behavioral, existential, humanistic, mindfulness and relational. In utilizing diverse ways of addressing client's desires for personal growth, emotional healing and intentional movement forward, I can support you in 'connecting the dots' and gaining insight, both from your own inherent wisdom and the wisdom of others.

I consider myself to be an emotion informed behavioral therapist. I utilize a variety of interventions and tools to bring forth awareness, education, insight and encourage change, as needed for clients who seek a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how their past may be influencing their present and future in harmful ways. Clients will likely experience an improvement with their self-esteem, self-love as well as, healthy relationships with self and others.

— Ronnette White, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Cincinnati, OH
 

Eclectic Therapy is when the therapist uses a multitude of therapeutic schools and techniques. I find every client to be unique, so are the client's needs. Thus, I use a breath of therapeutic approaches in order to meet the client where they're at versus try and fit a client into a certain mold of therapy that may not be advantageous for their healing.

— Sibley Fleming, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Marietta, GA

Eclectic therapy draws from numerous different kinds of therapeutic styles to formulate a wholly unique approach to therapy that is solely the therapist's. If you're interested in working with a therapy that uses approaches like Attachment Theory, DBT, REBT, Existential, Gestalt, and Mindfulness approaches, all while hopefully adding some fun along the way, we might be the right fit for each other.

I am constantly participating in trainings and staying up to date on research to utilize any approach that may benefit my clientele.

— Divergence Mental Health Group LLC, Therapist in Denver, CO

As a therapist I borrow from different approaches and in my work I blend them. I am trained in Structural and Strategic Family Therapy and in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, but I borrow ideas and techniques from Cognitive Therapy. Like most therapists, I use techniques of listening, reflecting, exploring history, and creating a relationship, that are grounded in Rogerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

— Daniel Minuchin, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in ,
 

Eclectic just means I pull a lot of different ideas, skills, or practices from a lot of different modalities. I find the best approach is as individual as each of my clients and usually involves more than one idea/technique. I frequently utilize cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness exercises, emphasizing self-care, while also keeping focus on motivations and goals. I provide a safe space to explore whatever aspect(s) of your life you want to examine and possibly change.

— Kasey Benthin-Staley, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Columbus, OH
