The complicating factor however is that similar problems in different people may require very different approaches or solutions on the part of the therapist. For example, two people suffering from acute anxiety may vary drastically in the amount of support, validation or structure that they may need from the therapist. In fact, what is helpful for one client may be deleterious for another. If for each person I see I want to find an appropriate model of treatment or intervention that fits not the problem but the client, I need to listen carefully to the stories clients tell in therapy and then zero in together with the client on the central, the deepest part of the story. It is this assessment that then helps determine the direction of therapy as well as the choice of interventions that I employ with my client.
