Counseling Approaches

I use a Humanistic/Rogerian approach as a base in all of my counseling. Depending on the individual or group, I will also use Rational Emotive, Reality or Brief Therapy models. Career issues, Stress/Anxiety, Family Systems conflict and relationships are areas covered with students I have seen. I work towards a trusting relationship and emphasize taking responsibility for one's actions.
