Gestalt therapy places a strong emphasis on "organismic holism," which entails being fully aware and present in the current moment or the here and now. It also emphasizes taking personal accountability.

Gestalt therapy

Existential therapy centers around the exploration of free will, self-determination, and the quest for meaning in one's life. 

Existential therapy

Developed by Carl Rogers, client-centered therapy is a humanistic approach that remains commonly used in psychotherapeutic settings today. It is designed to help individuals address problematic issues. In a departure from the psychoanalytic model, where the therapist interprets the unconscious, this therapy empowers the patient to take a leading role in the session. Rogers posited that when therapists provide certain core conditions, clients are fully capable of navigating and resolving their own problems.
