ABSTRACT
This chapter provides some practice exercises to aid everyone in integrating new and more advanced skills. Each example includes a short description of the scenario followed by several comments made by the clients that require to come up with a therapeutic response. These practice exercises help both therapists and therapists-in-training as they develop, expand, and refine both their skills and their understanding of the practice of therapy. Different clients require different modalities of counseling. For that reason, a growing presence in the field encompasses alternative modalities beyond the process of counselor and client sitting across from one another in a session. These approaches utilize alternative approaches to better fit the therapeutic process to the unique needs of the individual client. The chapter presents case studies of 32-year-old father of three children with anger-management issues, an 18-year-old female with career indecision, a married couple both in their mid-forties with relationship problem, and a 14-year-old male with verbal altercation.
