Answer: C)

Explanation:

In this case, the therapist can take any kind of psychotherapy and it will be good.

For example, experiential therapy can help the patient to see what are other opportunities that can make a fulfillment in his soul, with person-centered therapy he can learn how to open up more and with existential, it can help him to see that he is an individual person and there is no need for going along with the society.

All of these therapies are helpful but with psychodynamic therapy or insight-oriented therapy he can focus on something unconscious and he can get answers to his behavior because his behavior is mostly representing depression. With good psychodynamic therapy, the patient can be self-aware and then he could use, for example, experiential therapy.
