Existential Therapy and Counseling is a philosophical approach to psychotherapy that helps individuals explore the fundamental aspects of human existence — such as meaning, freedom, responsibility, and mortality. Rooted in existential philosophy, particularly the works of thinkers like Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Viktor Frankl, this therapy focuses on the client’s lived experience and their personal journey through life’s uncertainties. Rather than pathologizing emotional struggles, existential therapy views anxiety, grief, and inner conflict as natural responses to life’s core dilemmas — like the search for meaning or the awareness of one’s own mortality — and guides clients to confront these issues with courage and authenticity.
A key aspect of this therapy is helping individuals recognize their freedom to make choices and take responsibility for shaping their lives. It acknowledges that while freedom can feel empowering, it also brings the burden of responsibility and the fear of making the “wrong” choices. Through thoughtful exploration, clients are encouraged to reflect on their values, beliefs, and goals, ultimately discovering or redefining meaning and purpose in their lives. Therapists create a supportive space for clients to explore difficult emotions and existential concerns, helping them cultivate a greater sense of personal agency and resilience.
