A great use of positive psychology to remind the client of their motivators, lifting the veil of depression and anxiety if even for a moment. The incentive in following this protocol is behind the scenes, in that if the client does not adhere to these objectives, the counselor is able to see what got in the way--possible events, people, etc that the client has not mentioned yet.
I struggled with setting goals with my client in the intake interview, so this was definitely helpful for me to watch as a collaborative approach to setting goals and being client centered in sessions
This was a great video showing how to do a treatment plan with a client, specifically the goals section. I originally thought that the maximum list of goals had to be set at three, so it was helpful to watch Dr. Grande specify four goals and the criterion for each goal. I also thought it was such a great idea to print out the goals and criterion for the client. If I were a client, I would not remember everything without a sheet of reference.
I liked how this video showed that both the client and the counselor discussed what goals could be set. Dr. Grande was able to provide feedback to the client about their goals that they wanted to reach.
Great Video! I liked the way Dr. Grande encouraged the client to make her own goals then collaborated with her to make them more specific. After that he gave her option to make her goals measurable for herself to the point that she felt they were achievable
This treatment planning session was simple. The client's active role in the treatment plan gives her ownership. I think asking the question about what has worked before is a great starting point to brainstorm for a possible solution that has worked previously. The three areas that I picked up on for setting goals was to make them specific, measurable, and achievable.
+Bethany Elstrom "Ownership" is a great word, and I agree. The session felt somewhat exciting and the overall atmosphere was positive. You picked up some great points from the video.
I thought it was great how the counselor connected with the client and asked her what she enjoyed doing (like music and singing), and how he highlighted how her affect changed positively when she was talking about these things. It was sort of like a positive asset search, which helped to tie into her talking about things that didn't make her depressed. He seemed to want to help the client start small and build off things that made her happy as a means to feel less depressed and discuss their plan to make this happen.
I like the collaborative nature of this goal setting. The objectives were consistent with the goals the client set for treatment and were achievable. This is a helpful example of how to thoroughly and effectively set goals and objectives with clients related to their symptoms. I only wish I had watched this video before completing my own intake interview.
I liked how the goals were set mutually and when the client said she could only do one day a week on a Wednesday they compromised on that. I liked the idea of setting a specific day and time. I liked how they planned the day together and when she would begin.
I like how the client is involved in the goal-setting. Giving the client a role in his/her own treatment is integral and can be so beneficial, especially if a client is depressed; it can be empowering.
I agree. This was a very productive and collaborative session. The client is the expert of their own life so it is important to include them in the goal setting.
This treatment and goal planning session was highly collaborative. There was a great deal of rapport built in this session and Dr. Grande proved to be listening and supportive. He checked in to make sure all of the goals seems doable. He also pushed for the client to find the activities she enjoyed in a very positive way, it was like he was excited about it.
+Alicia Zahn I loved the rapport he built with the client. I also loved how much they worked as a team! It was clear that they were working together to make achievable goals.
I like that it was discussed that goals can be changed or revised if they aren't working for the client. It's the clients goals anyway and this way they would be more apt to work on something they deem important.
+Sherrie Tilghman I think that is such a good point. Having a client be active in treatment planning and goal setting reminds them that this is their treatment. Therefore, I think it would help them to be more apt to work towards those goals.
I think goal planning is a very important part of a treatment plan because it shows what the client wants out of therapy. Having the client make the goals sets the course for therapy. I liked how Dr. Grande explained what objectives were and how they relate to the goal. He also did a good job of explaining that objectives should be observable, measurable and achiveable
I think it was a great idea to explain to the client what goals and objectives are and how they are different from one another. I would not have thought to do that with my client, so it allowed me to learn something new. I also like how they discussed realistic goals to avoid aiming too high for something that cannot yet be achieved.
+Candace Fernandez I think identifying realistic goals was a great aspect of this video as well. It is important to develop realistic goals as to not overwhelm the client.
I knew that treatment planning is an important part of counseling, but I never knew how much it could increase the therapeutic relationship. Setting goals and objectives together allowed Dr. Grande and the client to collaborate and to learn about each other. The client got to see that Dr. Grande was flexible and personable, while Dr. Grande got to see that the client liked to sing and to be outside enjoying nature.
+Rachel Foster I didn't really think about treatment planning and rapport either. I could really see the collaboration between the both of them to make a good plan.
+Rachel Foster I also liked seeing the collaboration between the client and Dr. Grande; it showed how important it is to have a positive therapeutic relationship.
I love how collaborative this session was! At no point did Dr. Grande try and suggest goals for her. He prompted her to come up with the goal and objectives herself. I like how he took the measurable part of the walking goal down to a specific time she was going to walk and on what day.
+Mandy Moore This was a great video where the counselor and client worked together and I think it is great the client chose goals for herself and Dr. Grande just helped to evaluate how often the client will be able to participate or achieve her goals.
I didn’t know developing a Tx plan could take a few sessions. It was nice seeing the counselor and client work together on developing the plan. This is important because the client will feel responsible for the progress made in Tx.
It was nice to observe Dr. Grande work through the treatment plan with the client, both asking for her input and insight and offering feedback and making suggestions. They seemed to work together as a team and had a positive therapeutic rapport.
+Jacklin Skibicki I really liked the teamwork feeling, too. They worked together to figure out what was truly achievable and how to quantify her objectives.
I liked how the client was invited to brainstorm some goals what she would like out of therapy. She had identified a few coping kills and associating why she'd like to engage in these. I think it's important to let the client come up with some goals and objectives in their treatment planning and the counselor can refine these goals to make them successful.
That's a great video! I am a psychological counsellor candidate, and one of the best teachers in the world gave us this video as an assignment. I really appreciate the effort
This was helpful video to show how to set goals and objectives for someone with mild depressive symptoms. This video also seems like the motivational interviewing that we are learning about in our additions class.
Tx planning, setting goals and objectives are important and can prove critical for some client at higher risk. Clients with poor to mild positive coping skills tend to benefit from having goals and homework. This gives them something concrete to focus on and increases their coping abilities while alone or away from therapy. I appreciated that the client was able to set her goals and her objectives. This allows the client to be responsible and maintain control and autonomy.
+Michelle Robinson This client was very open to setting goals and objectives. The counselor points out the client's positive nonverbals that seemed to pick up her spirits.

Yeah, it was tough to understand our treatment planning while actually doing it. This was helpful.

I enjoyed how enforcing achievable goals and focusing on the positives were a theme in this video. It seemed to helped the client alot.

There was a very good direction in this example. It seemed very helpful for the client to even recognize the goals that she has.
This video is a great asset when completing the intake report.

A good video to show a collaborative effort by the client and counselor to make goals and objectives.
Once again this has been another great example through role play!

You mentioned the client's nonverbal. This is so important for the counselor to be able to pick up and use.
Giving the client some power in goal setting seemed to empower her and notice that she does have good things in her life.
The client was very involved in setting her goals, which I imagine would increase the likelihood of her working on them. Dr. Grande was careful to make sure that the objectives were achievable for her.
What model of therapy is this. What technique? Behavioral? FIT?
This feels solution based?
Those chairs are hideous.
