In plain terms, this approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and work through trust, intimacy, and attachment concerns that show up in family, parenting, and romantic contexts.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth. This gentle, respectful approach is useful for building self-understanding, strengthening self-love, and exploring life purpose.
