You are meeting with a client for the first time. (1) After greeting the client and sitting down in your office, you explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives of counseling. (2) You also discuss confidentiality and the situations in which you would have to break confidentiality as a mandated reporter. (3) After the client agrees to continue the conversation, you start asking the client questions about why they are seeking counseling, as well as questions about other psychosocial aspects. (4) Approximately 30 minutes later, you start to form a hypothesis about how the client’s presenting problems came to be. (5) In addition, based on the information the client presented, you believe the client has Major Depressive Disorder. (6) You share all of this information with your client. (7) You discuss your expertise in working with depression and other mood disorders, and you and the client agree to continue working together. (8) You also explain your expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy and what the approach entails, including specific techniques that you may use in therapy. (9) Your client agrees to try the CBT approach in counseling. (10) You schedule the next session and say good-bye.
