This week, you will create an individual client counseling scenario illustrating the solution-focused counseling approach.? Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word transcript of a mock session with

Introduction

For this assignment, you will create a transcript of a mock session with a client. You will play the role of the clinician and write down everything that happened during the session. The purpose of this assignment is to help you learn how to use effective language to convey your ideas clearly and concisely in an academic setting. In addition, it’s important that your writing reflects an understanding of professional standards for student-to-faculty interactions as well as evidence-based practice principles.

Establish the session.

You should state the date and time of your mock session. You may also want to include information about the setting, such as whether it is a group meeting or one-on-one counseling. In some cases, you may want to introduce yourself by explaining why you are there.

Once again, this section should be done in a friendly tone so that it doesn’t seem like you’re being too serious during this part of your assignment!

Identify client concerns and expectations.

• Ask the client to describe their problem.

• Ask the client to describe their expectations.

• Identify the client’s values and goals.

• Identify the client’s resources and supports (family members, friends, coworkers).

Build the relationship.

It’s important to build rapport with your client, which is achieved by establishing trust and showing empathy. You can do this by asking open-ended questions like “How are you?” or “What’s been going on lately?” This will help you establish a feeling of connection with the client and allow them to speak freely about their needs.

Explain and overview the intervention plan.

You will explain and overview the intervention plan.

You will discuss what is expected from the client.

You will outline the benefits of this intervention, such as self-care, quality of life or utility (e.g., ability to complete tasks), or productivity (e.g., hours worked).

You should also discuss how much time it takes for each step in your strategy and how long you expect each step to take before moving on to another strategy or strategy variant (if applicable). For example: “The first step is [insert description]. It takes about 15 minutes and then we move onto [insert description].”

In addition, you should estimate how much time costs for each individual item on your list and consider whether there are other costs associated with doing them in addition to those outlined above such as medical treatments that may be required after treatment completion; missed work days due to illness or injury; transportation costs etc

Review what was discussed in the session and provide next steps.

At the end of your session, you should review what was discussed in the session and provide next steps.

• Clarify any concerns or questions that remain unanswered after speaking with your client.

• Provide a summary of what was discussed in this session and how it applies to their specific situation.

• Ask if there are any additional questions they want answered before moving on to another topic (this will help you schedule future appointments).

You may also want to encourage them to sign a release form for any information shared during their visit so that you know where everything stands at all times!

Conclusion

Finally, remember that this is an opportunity to practice what you have learned and see if it works for your client. If there are any concerns about the plan of care or about how best to deliver it, ask these questions to clarify them:

What do you want me to do? Why should I do this? Is there anything else that would help me better understand your needs?
