Treatment Planning in Counseling - Setting a Goal and Corresponding Objectives

[@samanthalauren47]

These videos are really helpful to clinical psych students. Thank you very much, Todd.

I think the part that makes this video a little unrealistic is that most clients won't come into your office with such an easy, and easy to define, goal. Most clinical clients come in saying "I'm depressed/anxious" with a goal to "not be depressed/anxious." They rarely have any ideas about how to measure it, what they can do to effectively address it, etc. In fact, since I started seeing clients 12 years ago, no one has ever come to me with a problem this basic/simple to define and outline.

How do you maintain direction in sessions with this. I am personally struggling with the in my internship. Many clients come in after the intake of initially telling me they are anxious for example, just start venting about how stressful their week is and each session feels like a reset. Like a loop I can't seem to stop. I feel it is helpful for them in the moment to simply be validated, but I don't sense anything is really moving forward.

Well. If I'm a client I wouldn't feel comfortable with the counselor's way in the interview. When I was watching I felt like the counselor talks as a robot, and that is very boring. I didn't feel that the counselor was sensitive and empathic to the client.

I want to know what my counselor has written down after my first IOP individual session, especially before it goes to my probation officer etc. What rights do I have to know this?

You're welcome!

I think the counselor does a great job moving towards a direction such as making objectives and goals, however, it didn’t seem too empathetic and warm.

Can you have more than one goal if you are dealing with multiple issues?

[@charlamagruder2863]

Absolutely!

Per state standards and the standards of managed care treatment plan is to be complete prior to first session. This would be considered unethical for it to be placed at 4 sessions. poor example.

Why is she wearing like that?
