Pretty good :) My versions just kept tweaking what you already wrote, except for Systemic, to which I would also add “and how you affect that system.” A lot of systemic therapies explore not just how the system might be perpetuating the pathology, but how the client’s behavior also maintains that system, such that it perpetuates the pathology, recursively.
What would you say would be one-sentence (or one paragraph) descriptions of the “main principle” behind each philosophy that you’ve covered?
Extracting what I got from your descriptions, it might be something like:
Psychoanalytic: Discuss your issues in relation to your past.
Behaviorist: Apply reinforcement to increase positive behaviors and punishment to decrease negative behaviors.
Existential: Come to better understand your current experience and needs.
Systemic: Understand and change how you are affected by the patterns of the system that you are in.
