All therapy for most any purpose can be considered “reparative.” The term "Reparative Therapy" has been used by some to describe psychoanalytic or psychodynamic types of intervention for same-sex attracted individuals who desire to pursue change. It originates from the theories of causation which state that for many, homosexual behavior is part of a reparative drive."

Most therapists who specialize in "Sexual Orientation Change Efforts" have used a number of other standard therapeutic interventions as well with this population. Some of these other approaches include cognitive, interpersonal, narrative, and group interventions, often in combination. As with treating other clinical issues, there are varying approaches used; some may be better suited than others.
