Behavior Therapy (BT) has a rather extensive history that is often referred to as the three waves of behaviorism. The first wave occurred during the 1950s and 60s. This wave was highly focused on overt behaviors and emotions and basically ignored thoughts and feelings. The goals of this wave were to reduce problematic behaviors and emotions and increase appropriate behaviors and emotions by using techniques such as relaxation, systematic desensitization, exposure and response prevention, contingency management, and behavioral activation.

However, it is common for people to not accept or understand this fundamental principle. Instead, they fight it by attempting to get rid of, escape from, or avoid discomfort and unwanted private experiences. These methods typically result in temporary relief, which causes them to be reinforced. This leads to experiential avoidance often being the preferred coping strategy for dealing with unwanted or distressing private experiences. In the long term though, this control-oriented experiential avoidance is detrimental to the client because it amplifies suffering, diminishes psychological health, increases psychological distress, and reduces quality of life. Furthermore, it hinders valued living because life space begins to shrink and avoided situations continue to grow, as the client becomes withdrawn, avoided thoughts and feelings become overwhelming and unmanageable, and the ability be in present moment and enjoy life

These processes are categorized as either experiential or behavioral. Experiential techniques include consciousness raising, self-reevaluation, and emotional arousal, which focus on changing individuals' thoughts and feelings about the behavior (Naz & Ghasemi, 2018). In contrast, behavioral processes include self-liberation, helping relationships, and reinforcement management, which focus on changing individuals' actions and behaviors related to the behavior change. TTM effectively predicts and facilitates behavior change by understanding the stages and processes of change. Interventions can be personalized to the individual's willingness for change, increasing the likelihood of sustained behavior

Abstract This paper focuses on person-centered therapy. Person-centered therapy is an approach to help individuals develop a sense of self. This therapy is different from others as the client is responsible for improving his own life, not the therapist. However, it is important for the therapist to create a conducive environment for the client so that the client feels safe and secure and will be at ease to share problems or issues during therapy sessions.
After observing the clients behavior, it is evident that she has a problem limiting her excessive cellular device usage. Therefore, the behavioral intervention plan will be targeting the client’s cellular device usage in class, as well as outside of class. The plan will be targeting all cellular device usage, which includes playing games, texting, scrolling though social media sites, and finally listening to music. To prevent the client from using her phone during lectures, the behavioral plan instructed her professors to make her write an essay whenever she is using her phone.
For example, animal experimentations conceptualized stress as a physiological drive that is triggered by negative environmental stimuli. As such, coping behaviors were seen as acts of controlling how we respond to these negative stimuli. On the other hand, psychoanalytic ego psychology presented a trait and style approach to coping. In this perspective, the traits and characteristics that individuals possess will determine how they react to particular types of stimuli. However, there are limitations to this approach.
