Consider the following case: 21-year-old male, Asian college student. The student was referred to counseling by his faculty mentor, who had noticed a marked change in the students demeanor and classroom performance.

The advisor reports that the once very active, vibrant and bright student, is now missing class, has turned in several assignments late, no longer participates in class and has completely abandoned his group work. When questioned about the change, the student revealed to his mentor that his parents were getting a divorce and that his father had recently moved out of the family home. As a professional counselor, how would you establish rapport? What types of questions would you ask during the first session? What strategies would you employ to begin solving some of the problems the student is having? If the client were a 42- year- old woman returning to college, who was divorcing her husband of 15 years, how might you change your approach and strategies? What if she also has a history of distractibility and poor peer relations?
