An integrated therapeutic approach was adopted with one case and monitored over a long period of time. Adlerian-based counseling and psychotherapy helped the client to not only improve their interpersonal relationships but also change their thought processes ; however, internal healing was unaffected. Although yoga therapy has demonstrated both physical and mental benefits, a gap exists between its physical and psychological aspects, with new beliefs being formed. Hatha yoga primarily affects the body, but Kripalu yoga exerts a more psychotherapeutic effect, except that the therapist’s skill is believed to be crucial. Meanwhile, vibrational energy therapy produces a considerable effect on the body. Integrating these various therapeutic techniques resulted in physical, mental, and spiritual growth, through balancing the light and dark side of the client’s nature. In a time of global turmoil, due to COVID-19, physical, mental and spiritual growth is essential to avoid becoming perplexed by the situation. Therefore, it is important to establish criteria for how and when to apply such an integrated therapeutic approach in the future.
