Gestalt therapy is a psychotherapy method that is used to treat depression, apathy, feelings of loneliness, loss of meaning in life. Gestalt is a complete image, integrity. Gestalt therapy works precisely with the concept of integrity, its goal is to collect different aspects of a person into one, to accept different parts of oneself.

The popular phrase — close the gestalt — also describes the essence of the method well. Indeed, in life there are unfinished situations (ordinary and global) that do not allow you to move on. Closing and working out such gestalts leads to a more holistic and conscious personality.

The concept of «here and now» is very important for the method — unlived feelings, problems and anxieties have not lost their relevance and torment a person at this very moment. With situations like this, you have to work and let go.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psychotherapy method for treating anxiety, addictions, depression. During therapy, the psychologist identifies automatic fast thoughts, processes them and brings them to the conscious level. CBT is based on the concept of cognitions (all human thought processes) that can influence emotions and behavior. First, you need to work out the cognitive aspect (thoughts and beliefs) in order to change the behavioral (actions).
Example: during a difficult task, a person has a thought: «I am not a good enough specialist», this is an automatic thought that can trigger an emotional reaction — sadness, anxiety, depression. It is not rational, because there is no evidence that this is so.
Thoughts arise very quickly and trigger reactions — to find out why a particular state has arisen, you need to find the first thought that triggered the process. Once an automatic thought is found, it can be processed and the belief changed.

The existential method of psychotherapy is suitable for those who are on the verge of change, experiencing loss, feeling empty. It helps to find own path and the meaning of life. The method is based on the philosophy of existentialism. Existence is the being of a human person, a unique life.
In existential psychotherapy, «existence» refers to the living of one's own existence here and now. The goal of the method is to teach a person to take responsibility for his life and independently choose his own path. And a person is seen as a person in continuous development. The therapist raises important questions — the awareness of one's own mortality, loneliness, the meaning of life, free will.
