2-2 Discussion The basic counseling strategies that Carl Rogers uses with Gloria is known as person-centered therapy. This is an approach where the counselor guides the client to their own self-actualization. This is evidenced in the video when we see Gloria asking for a direct answer and Mr. Rogers states “But on the other hand, that this is the kind of very private thing that I couldn’t possibly answer for you that I assure as anything will help you work toward your own answer” (SNHU A11y Remediated Videos, 2017). Mr. Rogers is looking for certain conditions to unfold as throughout the therapy session. First he is looking to form a real connection with Gloria through genuineness, congruence, and transparency, then he would like to show that he genuinely cares for Gloria, lastly he would like to be able to empathize with Gloria. Through this approach it is hoped that Gloria will take a deeper look at her own feelings and attitudes. For me, it didn’t seem as though this counseling session was going to go well. Gloria was so shaken at the start, I didn’t see her wanting to divulge much information, but Mr. Rogers’ low, calming voice seemed to ease Glorias nervousness. Mr. Rogers’ active listening also played a key role in letting Gloria know he was present in the conversation. Overall, I feel Mr. Rogers’ techniques, coupled with active listening were great in building this therapeutic alliance. You can see a moment of clarity for Gloria right after Mr. Rogers states “But on the other hand, that this is the kind of very private thing that I couldn’t possibly answer for you that I assure as anything will help you work toward your own answer. I don’t know if that makes any sense, but I mean it” (SNHU A11y Remediated Videos, 2017), Gloria smiles and says “Well I appreciate you saying that. You sound like you mean it” (SNHU A11y Remediated Videos, 2017). It’s after this moment that Gloria feels at ease and senses Mr. Rogers’ genuineness, congruence, and transparency.
