What do mental health professionals focus on the problem or symptom?

Thereis no difference among the disciplines.
Mental health professionals need to address both but the overarching goal in therapy/treatment needs to be addressing the root problem because if that is dealt with, the symptom(s) should go away.
The reason the symptom(s) would need to be addressed is because the symptom may be the primary reason they come in for therapy and so if it's a concern for them, it has to be looked at. Also, the symptom is probably causing discomfort and interfering with their life so a lot of their energy is being focused on it. So alleviating the symptom in some way will help clear their mind/energy to dig deeper and get to the root cause or problem.
