a. eclectic

The term the therapist is likely using to describe her treatment approach is "eclectic." An eclectic therapist draws on multiple theoretical frameworks and integrates various techniques to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each client. This means that the therapist does not adhere strictly to a single set of theories or methods (such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, etc.), but rather uses what is considered most helpful for the client's unique situation.
