About Intentional Counseling

Textbook Cover Image.png The course is designed to introduce students to counseling theory as it is in-service to practice. The course introduces ‘theory” as a necessary organizational framework from which a counselor can articulate ‘what they are doing and why they are doing it” and make intentional decisions on how best to assist their clients. The course provides an in-depth look at selected theories and their resultant “therapeutic operations”, including: solution focused, cognitive, behavioral, reality (choice theory) and feminist models. While the course emphasizes the understanding of the core elements to the theories investigated, the real focus is on the utility of theory as a framework to guide practitioner decision making. The goal of the course is to provide a sufficient foundation of knowledge to prepare the student for more advanced study in counseling and practicum and internship experiences, as well as an introduction to a variety of approaches to enable the student to be prepared to practice in diverse settings and with diverse populations. The course will include both didactic and experiential components which will require student participation. This course includes direct contact with ‘simulated clients’ and the development of counseling intervention plans.
