Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a process where individuals engage in conversations with a trained mental health professional to address and manage various emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues. The goal is to help people understand their thoughts and feelings, gain insights into their behavior, and develop coping strategies to improve their mental well-being.

In talk therapy, clients are encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings openly, and the therapist provides a non-judgmental, empathetic environment. The process often involves setting goals, exploring personal experiences, and developing practical strategies to cope with challenges and improve overall mental health.
