worry and anxiety states is effective. The examples were given of techniques for the use in therapeutic
work with clients of different ages, personal development and psychological characteristics. It is concluded

means of resolving internal conflicts of personality and a means of activating the creative potential of an
individual, the technique of activating resources and spreading the range of self-regulation. Using such
types of art therapy as painting therapy, fairy-tale therapy, sand therapy when working with anxiety, fears,
