Initial Assessment: The initial assessment has
3 components to it.
- Develop a
rapport with the individual or couple coming to
counseling.
- Evaluate
the nature of the problem or issues that prompted the individual
or couple to come for counseling.
- Discuss possible
goal or alternatives to working on the solution to the presenting
problem
Individual
Therapy
Types or Forms of
therapy:
Rogerian: This
is where the counselor tries to reflect back what the person is
saying with empathy an positive regard.
Cognitive Behavioral: This type of
therapy takes the persons thoughts and behaviors and tries to change
the what the person is is telling himself in order to change his
behaviors.
EFT: Emotional Freedom Therapy. This type of therapy is considered to be in
the energy field. It uses a technique of the person tapping
the meridian points in order to relieve the emotional
congestion. Gary Craig teaches, " all emotional problems
are a cause of disruption of a person's own energy
field." For some people this type of
therapy can bring about immediate relief from anxiety, emotional
pain, stress and addictions. Learn more about

Solution
Focused: This type of therapy takes a look at what the "end
results" would look like and begins the process of finding the shortest, and best way to get there. Goals
are discussed and written down, and the individual is responsible
for following through on their assignments.
Spiritual or Christian
Counseling: Here the individual expresses a
need to work on their spirituality. We discuss what it is that
they would like to see different and the way in which they see God working out
those things in their life. Prayer may be used in and
out of sessions as well as
Bible reading and meditation. It may be
helpful for the person to identify the things in their life that may
be keeping them from developing a closer walk
with God or sense of spiritual completeness or peace.
Couples or Marital
Therapy
Couples/Marital Therapy: This is a process of determining how each is
perceiving the problem and finding the best way of helping each
partner achieve their goals in the relationship. Typically the
couple works on their communication skills in order to clarify their
words and bring an understanding to their behaviors. Many
times it is helpful to have a mediator to interpret and clarify
things for each person in order to assist the communication
process. If the relationship is too conflicted it may be
necessary to work on some individual issues with each person before
the couple is brought back to work on their relationship together in
therapy.
