The scenario describes a classic technique of psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on exploring unconscious thoughts and experiences to gain insight into current issues and improve mental health. The therapist's non-directive approach and use of free association are also indicative of this type of therapy. Behavioral therapy is more focused on changing specific behaviors, gestalt therapy emphasizes the present moment and personal responsibility, and client-centered therapy is more interactive and collaborative between the therapist and client.
