Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incongruence is not part of setting the tone in a counseling setting. The other options listed (unconditional positive regard, active listening, attending, empathy) all contribute to establishing an atmosphere that is conducive for a counseling session. Incongruence refers to a lack of congruence between a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions, and is a concept discussed within the context of the counselor's own self-awareness and personal growth, rather than as part of setting the tone for a session with a client.
