Explanation:

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) includes practices that are not part of conventional Western medicine. Meditation, massage, use of lavender and chamomile (aromatherapy), and taking omega - 3 fatty acid supplements (a type of dietary supplement often used in alternative approaches) are CAM practices. Electroconvulsive therapy, taking prescribed antianxiety medications, taking antidepressant medications (unless combined with an alternative like the omega - 3 supplement in a specific way as in the last option), and seeing a psychiatrist for psychotherapy are more in the realm of conventional mental health treatment.

Answer:

• Client practices meditation to reduce anxiety in addition to outpatient counseling
• Client uses massage, lavender, and chamomile to decrease stress and anxiety
• Client with depression takes an omega - 3 fatty acid supplement and an antidepressant
