It is very helpful, but it all depends on the patient's willingness to openness and catharsis.
Hello,
Every psychotherapy involves some talk therapy. So yes, it is effective. Especially combined with Hypnotherapy and CBT. It also depends on the problems you have. Sometimes a combination of medicine with talk therapy may be more helpful. Not knowing what problem you are experiencing, it is is difficult to give specific advice. In case you are in FL, IN, or IL, call me.
Take care and remain safe.

It is very effective. IF you contact the right therapist for your problem. It is like a pitcher and catcher dynamic. Try it. You will love it from the beginning.
Hello!
Thank you for your question. In my experience working with a variety of patients I’ve witnessed the positive transformations of thoughts, feelings and behaviors through the utilization of evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) just to name a few. These treatments are incorporated in talk therapy to help patients improve and manage their symptoms long term. Hope this helps answer your question.

The effectiveness of talk therapy depends on what you need therapy for, the skills and experience of the therapist, the quality of the connection between the therapist and the client, and your openness to the treatment. In some talk therapy, the therapist is rather passive, mostly just listening to you talk. If that were highly effective, you wouldn't need a therapist, just someone to listen while you figure it out. If your car is working fine, mostly, except for one aspect, and you take it to the mechanic, you sort of expect that they will be able to recognize the problem, do stuff to fix it, and restore optimal functioning. The therapist is the one who should be guiding the process, and when that is happening, talk therapy can be very effective.
I hope this is helpful.
