A 19 y.o. Asian-American client comes to you for counseling at the university’s career counseling center. She has been worried about choosing a major and complains about struggling with sleep problems, headaches, and low energy. She has been getting average grades in her Engineering courses and fears she is a disappointment to her parents. She does not want her parents to know she is seeing you as this may be yet another disappointment to them. She has completed the Interest Profiler which revealed a Holland type of SCI. She indicated a search on O*NET pointed her toward becoming a registered nurse; however, her parents are urging her to continue pursuing an Engineering degree. She states she is also struggling to choose a major because, “I am afraid that it may not be God’s will.” In addition to the cultural differences between you and the client, you notice from the start, it is evident that she has a different Spiritual Discernment decision-making style than you. • As a counselor attending to the career concerns of your client, how might your personal position(s) potentially influence how you address this client’s concerns? • Describe the strategy you will use to ensure that you do not impose your personal position, spiritual discernment approach, or values on the client. • Describe three counseling strategies you could use with this client (i.e. additional assessments, culturally responsive techniques, use of technology/information resources).
