Three counseling histories—career counseling, social justice, and humanistic counseling—taken together, offer a framework for conceptualization and training that aligns in a holistic way with the profession's values. These foundations comprise a unique professional identity, which can allow counselors to adequately address complex client needs.

Motivational interviewing (MI) is a brief, evidence-based counseling style that helps people make positive behavior changes. Scholars have advocated for MI's use by school counselors (SCs), and research lends evidence to MI's effectiveness in schools. However, there are little data focused on how SCs are trained to utilize MI. Researchers investigated MI training in school counseling graduate programs from the perspective of SCs and counselor educators (CEs). The article presents two qualitative studies that discussed the importance of MI training in graduate programs. Researchers identified six themes and discussed their implications for graduate programs.

The serious leisure perspective (SLP) aligns with humanistic counseling principles. A most significant professional implication is that humanistic counselors can create optimal leisure lifestyle strategies linked to the AHC principles of discovering meaning and purpose, developing deep connections with people and nature, moving toward growth and change, maintaining a holistic approach to humanity, and developing creativity. Future research implications and practical steps that humanistic counselors can use in professional practice to connect the SLP to humanistic counseling principles are elucidated.

This phenomenological study focused on how counselors experienced instances of intuition in their practice. Four counseling psychologists were interviewed about their intuitive experiences and four main themes emerged. The findings are discussed along with ethical and humanistic considerations regarding counselors accessing and using intuition.

The freedom-from oppression model is an integrative conceptual and practical framework for addressing the deleterious impact of oppression on clients. Applying multiculturally grounded counseling strategies as well as various techniques across three existential-humanistic stages and 12 cognitive intervention steps, the proposed model supports counselor and client discovery of psychological freedom-from oppression.

Restorative justice (RJ) represents a humanistic approach to addressing the harm caused by juvenile and adult offenders. RJ practices have been shown to reduce recidivism and enhance the holistic wellness of victims and offenders. The authors make recommendations for incorporating RJ into counselor training, identity development, and counseling practices.
