Mark, As you can see there are many options for SLPs with respect to doing counseling (CBT, ACT, Interpersonal Therapy, and more). It really can come down to what the clinician is comfortable performing and, more importantly, what the client feels is beneficial to them. Remember, the client is driving the bus, we are just a subtle guide. We don't tell them what to do, we listen and watch behaviors and let them lead the way to their recovery (what that means to the client) by posing questions, sharing thoughts, and creating an open forum for growth and discovery. Do you research, find an approach your comfortable with and do what you can. Great conversation! With compassion and kindness, Scott
