Kaylee Barnes Southern New Hampshire University 06/09/2024 the theories/approaches and methods to be used with the client.

Our client, in this case, study is seeking treatment for her DUI, which she is in denial of. The client discloses enough information to indicate there is underlying issues. A treatment plan for this client could incorporate a variety of theories, methods, and approaches. However, the three theories that I would use in treating this client are Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Family-Centered Therapy. Incorporating multiple theories in the treatment plan can provide a holistic approach to addressing the underlying issues and promoting long-term recovery. By drawing from different theories, methods, and approaches, the treatment plan can address various aspects of the client's life, such as cognitive patterns, emotional well-being, and social support, leading to a more comprehensive and effective intervention. Starting with person-centered therapy the theory is based on one-to-one relationships between counselor and client. In a safe environment, clients can let down their defenses and explore themselves, learning the discrepancy between what they perceive and what they actually experience. Listening carefully to the client, demonstrating empathy, and letting them speak are the techniques/approaches with this theory. One technique commonly used in this approach is reflection. The counselor reflects the client's thoughts and feelings, allowing the client to gain a deeper understanding of their own experiences and emotions. The next one I want to talk about is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy aka CBT, the individual is asked to look inside themselves and face their inner problems. As a part of this theory, clients are encouraged to create new responses and behaviors that are healthy by identifying maladaptive patterns of thinking, emotional responses, or behavior. My recommendation for CBT would be to have the client keep a journal of how her emotions are triggered, as well as to develop relaxing strategies. Keeping a journal of emotional triggers in CBT can be highly beneficial as it helps the client gain insight into their thought patterns and identify recurring triggers. By documenting these triggers, the client can better understand the underlying causes of their emotions and work towards developing more effective coping strategies. Additionally, the act of writing can serve as a cathartic and reflective practice, promoting self-awareness and personal growth. The last one I would like to talk about is This client describes her family as having a "dark cloud" over it as a child, and now she has indicated that her daughter and husband do not get along. The client's past experiences of a "dark cloud" over her family as a child may have shaped her perception and expectations of family dynamics. These experiences may have contributed to the tension and conflict between her daughter and husband, as she may be projecting her own unresolved issues onto their relationship. This client's relationship with her daughter represents a codependent relationship. In order for this family to strengthen its bond, communication needs to be improved. Encouraging open and honest dialogue between the daughter and husband can help them better understand each other's perspectives and resolve any conflicts. Additionally, promoting activities that they can enjoy together and seeking professional help, such as family therapy, may also contribute to fostering a healthier relationship. The top three treatment goals.
