Hope to Action: Translating Insight Into Sustainable Client Change

Session Description This live Lunch & Learn explores how counselors can support clients in moving from insight and motivation into paced, sustainable action. Participants will examine common clinical barriers to follow-through and learn structured, goal-focused tools that support client movement while honoring readiness, regulation, and clinical judgment.

Learning Objectives After this session, participants will be able to:

1. Explain how structured, present-tense goal tools can support client motivation and follow-through.

2. Demonstrate a six-component goal-focused framework to clarify actionable goals.

3. Integrate goal-focused tools into intake, treatment planning, and homework assignments.

4. Differentiate goal-focused techniques from formal Solution-Focused Therapy models and apply them appropriately within scope of practice.
