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 an open, integrative form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the treatment goals, and the person’s expectations and motivation.. In effect, an eclectic therapist customizes the therapeutic process for each individual by using whatever form of treatment, or combination of treatments, has been shown to be most effective for treating the particular problem.

— Mary Ellen Kundrat, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

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.

I believe in an eclectic integrative approach that considers the client through a holistic lens and formulates a treatment plan unique to their journey through healing.

— Daniel McClure, Professional Counselor Associate in Portland, OR

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 believe it's important to meet my clients where they are. With an eclectic approach, I am able to tailor my therapeutic interventions and techniques to their individual needs. You can expect me to never use a cookie-cutter approach when helping you reach your therapeutic goals."

— Shayna Redding, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor

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.

Eclectic therapy is an approach that draws from multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. It allows me the flexibility to meet your needs in the best way possible without relying on one method of therapy. I can easily transition from one technique to another to best guide you in finding the answers you want to live a more fulfilling life.

— Andrea Lynne, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Southbury, CT
 

The clinician utilizes more than one focus, or technique, of therapy. S/he chooses the best possible approach or combination of approached designed to match what the client needs. It is a fluidity of techniques used to best serve the client. To do this well, the clinician needs to be familiar with each technique they engage.

— Dr. Evelyn Comber, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Rockford, IL

My approach focuses on pulling from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to meet the needs of the individual(s) in front of me.

— Angelica Emery-Fertitta, Clinical Social Worker
 

I am trained in several modalities and draw on many of them depending on the individual client and what they are working on. I don't believe "one size fits all" and thats why I like to pull from different orientations to best serve my clients.

— David Strah, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Los Angeles, CA

"eclectic" simply means i do not exclusively follow any one or any few therapeutic modalities. i commit to an eclectic approach to honor the uniqueness of each client. i value remaining flexible and open so i can meet every client right where they are, as they are. i hope the information on my profile can offer a strong sense of the work i do and why i do the work i do.

Some modalities I use include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Meditation, breathe work, and ACT.

— Kristina Beaudry, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Davie, FL
 

I use a combination of different approaches depending on what your specific needs are. Ultimately, I don't believe that one form of therapy is better than another.

— Regina Stiffler, Licensed Professional Counselor

My priority in any collaborative relationship is on figuring out how I can best support the unique person with their unique challenges sitting in front of me. I often find myself seeking additional trainings and education to be able to better support my people. An eclectic approach allows me to pivot smoothly if we are not seeing the results you are looking for and allows me to avoid getting tunnel vision surrounding the problem at hand which could potentially lead to missing something.

— Mikayla Dibelka, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
 

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.

— MaryEllen Martyn, LPC-EMDR Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor in The Woodlands, TX

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
