Commonly asked questions
At the start of a counseling session, it's effective to say, "I'm glad you're here today. Let's talk about what’s been on your mind lately," to set a welcoming tone and encourage open communication.
Good counseling phrases include empathetic statements such as, "It sounds like you've been through a lot; how can I support you today?" and validating comments like, "Your feelings are completely understandable given the circumstances."
