• Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT)A therapy for young children's behavior in which the therapist coaches the parent live, often through an earpiece, while they play together.
• Person-CenteredA warm, non-directive approach: the therapist listens with empathy and without judgment, and trusts the person to find their own direction.
