Counseling Approaches

- In Client Centered (Rogerian) counseling, the counselor provides

the growth-promoting climate and the client is then free and able

to discover and grow as she / he wants and needs to. Prevailing

characteristics of the session are active listening, empathy,

acceptance (unconditional positive regard) and genuineness.

- Holistic Health (Biopsychosocial) asserts that we have physical,

intellectual, social, emotional, vocational and spiritual needs -- the

neglect of which reduces the ability of one to withstand the

effects of stress. And we live in socio-economic conditions that

can enhance or demean our long-term well-being.

- Strengths Based counseling focuses on what is going right in a

person’s life. The counselor and client work together to find past

and present successes and use these to address current and

future challenges. Its first cousin, Positive Thinking or Learned

Optimism, is about learning a positive perspective – focusing on

what can go right.

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ABC Method) could be described

as “as I think, so I feel (and do)!”

In any given situation you have:

A. Activating Event – the actual event and the client’s immediate

interpretations of the event.

B. Beliefs about the event – this evaluation can be rational or

irrational.

C. Consequences – how you feel and what you do or other

thoughts.

- Solution Focused Therapy (Where do I want to be?!) focuses

on what clients want to achieve through therapy rather than on the

problem(s) that made them seek help. The approach does not focus on

the past, but instead, focuses on the present and future. The client is

asked to envision how the future will be different when the problem is

no longer present.

- The Existential approach (Why Am I Here?!) is also known as

“Meaning Therapy.” As Viktor Frankyl put it, “He who knows the ‘why’

for his existence, will be able to bear almost any ‘how.’” Therapy is

concerned with creating one’s identity and establishing meaningful

relationships with others.
