If I had a friend who I knew was dealing with a lot of anxiety or depression I feel like I would recommend them client-centered therapy because it seems like that kind of therapy could lead you to open up about things that bother you and even open you up to ideas that you didn't know were bothering you. I feel like the simplest thing that you could do for a condition such as anxiety is talking about it and getting things off of your chest and nothing feels better than being able to completely vent to someone you don't have any connection to without being judged.
