Explanation:

The therapist uses a series of reinforcements (rewarding Cyan for successive steps towards leaving home) to modify behavior. Cognitive - behavioral therapy often employs such behavioral modification techniques with rewards (positive reinforcement) to change behaviors, which matches the therapist's approach here. Sociocultural focuses on social/cultural factors, humanistic on self - actualization and client - centered approaches, and biological on physiological factors, none of which fit as well as cognitive - behavioral here.

Answer:

cognitive - behavioral
