支持性心理疗法（Supportive psychotherapy）是一种心理治疗手段，集成了心理动力学，认知行为疗法和人际治疗的理论模型和技术。 心理咨询师的目的是加强来访者积极、健康的认知和行为，以此减轻造成精神障碍症状的内心冲突（intrapsychic conflict）。和咨询师保持中立以供移情所涂画的精神分析方法不同，在支持性心理疗法中咨询师需要全力调动情绪、鼓励的支持行为，作为来访者更长期的健康心理防御机制，尤其是在人际关系中来讲。

Supportive psychotherapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal conceptual models and techniques. The objective of the therapist is to reinforce the patient's healthy and adaptive patterns of thought behaviors in order to reduce the intrapsychic conflicts that produce symptoms of mental disorders. Unlike in psychoanalysis, in which the analyst works to maintain a neutral demeanor as a "blank canvas" for transference, in supportive therapy the therapist engages in a fully emotional, encouraging, and supportive relationship with the patient as a method of furthering healthy defense mechanisms, especially in the context of interpersonal relationships.
