This approach is different from passive and nondirective therapies like client-centered therapy, where the therapist provides a supportive environment but does not offer guidance or direction.

The therapy that focuses on identifying and changing distorted thinking and unrealistic beliefs is known as cognitive therapy. This type of therapy typically involves working with a therapist to challenge negative thoughts and replace them with more positive and realistic ones, with the goal of improving mental health and well-being.
