BecomINg a SkIlled
Counselor
Richard D. Parsons • Naijian Zhang, both of
West Chester University of Pennsylvania
The core text for counselor skill development,
Becoming a Skilled Counselor prepares
students with the fundamental knowledge and
skills necessary to be effective helpers. Authors
Richard D. Parsons and Naijian Zhang explain
the essentials of the counseling relationship, the
dynamic and intentional nature of the helping
process, the knowledge and skills necessary to
facilitate change, and the theories and research
guiding the selection and application of interventions. Uniquely focused on the
process of counseling, the authors' approach invites students to conceptualize
clients using a fluid and dynamic model rather than a linear, step-by-step process.
Each chapter is structured to reinforce concepts by first introducing the key
constructs and empirical support, then providing application opportunities through
detailed case illustrations with dialogue transcripts and guided practice exercises.
The text emphasizes mindfulness, intentionality, ethics, and reflection to aid
counselors in their journey of self-discovery and professional identity development.
