Those are entirely different concepts. "Confronting one's fears" is usually about forcing yourself to accept and internalize that your fears are unfounded. Good examples are a fear of roller coasters, fear of flying, or basically anything else that is 99.999% harmless. Talking through problems is way to guide you (and potentially another person) into understanding, acceptance, and compromise.
