I'm a psychology student and I must say that NLP is NOT an empirically validated approach, which means that those who use it don't follow strict guidelines that will help the client to get the best out of the therapy.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, on the other hand, has almost the same premises as NLP (at least when I compare it to what was shown in the 2 previous posts) but it has been shown to be effective for some problems and there IS a treatment manual to follow. Therapist (well, you should see a psychologist or a psychiatrist if you want someone giving you advice in this domain) also need to have much more formation than so-called "therapists" can have.
That's just my 2 cents, someone paying for a service should only get the best .
