It wouldn't be really Freudian anymore, but quite honestly I'm surprised that you're not familiar with psychoanalyses being used. A good friend of mine who's getting his masters was explaining something called "emotion focus therapy" to me the other day. It's really deep stuff, and he's seen that it helps with repressed emotion in many individuals.
It's not as common simply because it takes a lot longer and it's a lot more intense than it's cognitive counterpart. You don't see insurance covering it, so it's not considered common, but it's certainly there.
Just out of curiosity, what field do you work in?
