Answer 1

Answer:

B: Our staff uses a variety of therapeutic approaches in their work.

Explanation:

The word eclectic is described as using multiple theories or ideas to draw a conclusion.

If the psychotherapist uses a eclectic approach, then the therapist will take many different angles into account and probably propose many different theories before coming to a conclusion.

The word can also be used outside of this context, for example, an eclectic person would be someone who has experienced many different sides of life.
