All of the answer choices might cause a clinician to decide to use an Eclectic approach to counseling. Despite attempting to identify one theory as better than all the rest, it has not been found. However, much research has shown that certain types of therapy do work better than others for certain types of problems (i.e., depression responds very well to Cognitive therapy, while nail biting is resolved through Behavior therapy).
