The difference is really very simple. Person therapy is really individual therapy and Family therapy is about marriage, parenting and extended relationships.
Person centered and gestalt therapy modalities work towards the similar goal of getting unstuck from negative thoughts and behaviors. In person centered therapy the therapy is client driven, in gestalt both the therapist and client are working together in an exchange.
Rational Emotive Therapy emphasizes shedding light on the illogical processes that we easily engage in when dealing with stressful events, and breaking through the illogic. Person centered therapies concentrate on the subjective experiences and integrity of the individual to bring the individual to empowerment.
Client centered therapy means a kind of talk therapy in which the client is encouraged to talk openly about their issues in an environment where they will not be judged. It is used to help those with addictions.

Client-centered therapy is therapy that is tailored to each person. It works well for the elderly because it's good for the patient to get one on one therapy geared just towards them.

the positive relationship of the counselor and client
Most therapies are client centered because treating or helping the client is the main focus. I'm a music therapy major and I know that there are 3 main factors: the client, the music, and the therapist... but the client is the most important because it is based around them and they are the most important part.
