It is helpful when intense feelings, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts get in the way of everyday functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try strategies that match those aims. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps the client make progress.
