Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a counselor is not making progress with a client, many options are available to help resolve the issue. Most likely, a consultation with other counselors in the practice, including the lead counselor, may engender additional insights and ideas to move the client toward progression. If consultation is not helpful, another counselor may be asked to observe a session and provide feedback. Usually, terminating a relationship with the client is not the answer, unless it is determined, through much discussion with client and lead clinician, that another counselor would be a better fit for the client and his/her concern.
