Psychotherapy (also known as talking therapy or psychological therapy) is the solicitation of psychological approaches to assist a person in changing behavior, increasing happiness, and overcoming issues. Psychotherapy attempts to improve a person's mental health and well-being, as well as to resolve or minimize problematic behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, as well as to improve relationships and social skills. Individual adults, families, children, and adolescents have all benefited from various sorts of psychotherapy. Certain methods of psychotherapy have been deemed pseudoscience for treating some recognized mental diseases, while others have been deemed evidence-based. There are hundreds of distinct psychotherapy procedures, some of which are slight differences while others are based on quite diverse psychological theories. The majority of sessions are one-on-one between the client and the therapist, although some are group sessions with groups, including families.
