Both matter: choose a point of entry that makes sense to you, then prioritize a therapist you feel genuinely comfortable with.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <h3>How many types of therapy are there?<\/h3>\n      <p>Surveys have counted anywhere from 400 to 600 named approaches, though most are variants or rebrands of a smaller set.
