What are psychotherapy approaches and how to choose the right one?
Expand
Therapeutic trends define assumptions about the therapeutic process and techniques of working with patients. Some forms of therapy are more effective for certain disorders than others, but this does not mean that a particular stream is suitable for working with only those disorders.
According to current scientific knowledge, the current therapy is of secondary importance, and the success of the therapeutic process is primarily determined by the relationship with the psychotherapist based on trust and a sense of security.
What else is affected by the therapeutic trend?
On attitude that the psychotherapist adopts during meetings. It can be, for example, more or less directive.
The frequency of meetings and the duration of psychotherapy.
Defines the context in which the patient will try to understand his problems. That is, to what extent will he focus on current events, and to what extent on the past or functioning in the environment.
There are many trends in psychotherapy. The most popular trends include: psychodynamic, psychoanalytical, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), systemic, integrative and humanist-existential (gestalt).

What does an online psychologist do?
Expand
A psychologist (online psychologist) helps in going through a crisis situation or provides ad hoc support in dealing with difficulties in everyday functioning. Short-term psychological therapy can also take the form of online psychological therapy.

Some psychologists with the appropriate qualifications will also conduct tests and receive a psychological opinion on their basis, which is sometimes needed to conduct neurological or psychiatric treatment.
