Client-Centered Therapy is an approach that Carl Rogers created and it centers on the idea that individuals come to therapy when there is an incongruence or inconsistency between the person and their experiences, which causes them distress. In this approach, the client leads the therapeutic process. Meaning – the client is regarded as the expert of their life and has the ability to let the therapist know what is important to address. The therapist and client work as a team to uncover solutions to the concern so the client can achieve a congruence between themselves and their experiences and then the client will achieve improved functioning in their life.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
- Carl Rogers
