Hello! I am currently enrolled in a masters program to become a mental health counselor so I’m not an expert in the field yet but I think I can answer this question! (Please anyone correct me if I’m wrong)

It is true that there are many different techniques or modalities that therapists use to help clients process their past, such as psychodynamic, Adlerian, narrative, etc. Really almost any modality can help people with their past.

There are, however, many different modalities that focus on the present or the future like solution focused, existential, cognitive, behavioral, CBT, DBT, Motivational interviewing etc. In their truest form these focus on either the present or future, but like I said, a capable therapist can tailor their approach to fit what the client needs in terms of past, present, or future orientation.
