Existential Therapy, focuses on the tensions that naturally arise as people go about the business of their lives.
Isolation vs. desire for connection, freedom vs. desire for structure, meaning vs. meaninglessness, and inevitability of death vs. the desire to continue living are the four main areas that existential psychology explores.
Problems with anxiety and depression flow from difficulties with these fundamental conflicts, and therapy is aimed at synthesizing a way to live in peace with these givens of reality.
