Depression and/or anxiety are, by far the most frequent diagnoses I see in my office. However, they often have underlying causes needing resolution before the client begins to heal. There are many therapies used to treat these disorders and evidence-based psychodynamic psychotherapy is one. My statement is based on the review of over 200 studies, by colleagues (https://www.drianpritchard.com/resources/research/evidence-based-psychodynamic-psychotherapy/). There are other therapies based on psychodynamic psychotherapy that are also research based. The treatment offered by healthcare providers in other disciplines  is usually Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps, but it is not my preferred therapy for most clients with the exception of some diagnoses (although I have extensive training in this modality). So, let’s see what works best for us as a team.
