This phenomenological study examined the lived experiences of 11 licensed professional counselors (LPCs, LPCCs, LPCC-Ss), exploring their educational and professional trajectories and perceived preparedness for working with clients suffering from substance use disorders. The findings of semi-structured interviews identified five main themes and two subthemes regarding experiences perceived as helpful throughout their educational and professional trajectories. The findings are relevant for CACREP-accredited counselor education programs and the profession. Recommendations are reviewed, along with suggestions to enhance counselors' readiness to meet the growing demand.

With the United States leading the world in incarceration rates, an estimated 113 million US adults have experienced the emotional, relational, and financial impacts related to the incarceration of a loved one. This study utilized a PRISMA review to examine the literature on partners of incarcerated individuals, analyzing 17 peer-reviewed empirical articles published between 2013 and 2022. Four primary themes emerged regarding carceral impacts on loved ones: (1) intrapersonal, (2) interpersonal, (3) coping and interventions, and (4) systemic and institutional. We discuss implications for professional counseling practice and research.

Given the prevalence of internet gaming disorder (IGD) and official diagnostic criteria, counselors should be prepared to address gaming-related issues in counseling. One clinical modality that could be particularly effective with this presenting concern is motivational interviewing (MI). MI can be used in combination with other established clinical approaches and has empirical support for its utility with addictive behaviors. Although the use of MI has been previously proposed with IGD, this article presents a detailed description of the use of MI in conjunction with the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction (CITA) treatment model in a hypothetical adolescent case example.

The Youthful Offenders Program for Telementalhealth (YOP-T) is a synchronous brief intervention for alcohol harm reduction and the virtual application of the Youthful Offenders Program. This study aims to provide psychometric support for use of the protective behavioral measurements Safe Drinking Practices and Avoid Risky Behaviors in telementalhealth and to provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of YOP-T in eliciting alcohol use and related harm reductions and increases in protective strategy utilization (N = 302). Reliability and validity for measurements were observed, and preliminary support for program effectiveness was established. Recommendations to improve psychometric properties and generalizability are discussed.

This study explored the roles of coping motives and frequency of heavy drinking episodes on the association between intolerance of uncertainty (IU) dimensions (i.e., prospective IU and inhibitory IU) and alcohol problems in a crowdsourced sample of 375 adult drinkers. Serial mediation results indicated that there was a significant positive indirect effect of inhibitory IU on alcohol problems via coping motives and heavy drinking episodes. Unexpectedly, prospective IU had significant negative effects on frequency of heavy drinking episodes and alcohol problems. Implications of the study findings are discussed.
本研究探讨了应对动机和大量饮酒次数对不确定性不容忍度（IU）维度（即前瞻性不确定性不容忍度和抑制性不确定性不容忍度）与当前饮酒者的酒精问题之间的关联的作用。序列中介结果表明，抑制性 IU 通过应对动机和大量饮酒发作对酒精问题有显著的正向间接影响。出乎意料的是，前瞻性 IU 对大量饮酒发作的频率和酗酒问题有显著的负面影响。本文讨论了研究结果的意义。

This PhotoVoice study explored the lived experiences of queer, transgender, Black, and Indigenous people of color (QTBIPOC) in substance use disorder counseling. Furthermore, this study utilized a Critical Participatory Action Research framework to discuss QTBIPOC strategies and ideas on enhancing substance use disorder counseling for QTBIPOC communities. The group dialogues in this study further explored how QTBIPOC experience minority stress and affirmative counseling experiences when seeking out counseling for substance use. Substance use disorder counselors and institutions can strongly benefit from the implications of this study as part of enhancing overall QTBIPOC counseling care.
