Psychotherapy is used to treat specific diagnoses or problems such as anxiety, depression or ADHD, in addition to problems such as relationship problems, stress management, or other issues that may affect a person’s mental well-being. Distress can manifest in the form of problematic beliefs, feelings, behaviors, and sensations in the body. A therapist can facilitate lifestyle changes, help identify underlying causes of symptoms, and provide specific strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, or emotions.
