in all of the theories that we have reviewed, I found myself relating most to the theory of Person-Centered therapy, Adlerian Theory, and Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT). According to Parsons & Zhang (2014), “For Rogers, the more the client can trust his or her own experience as a guide for living, the better an intuitive scientist he or she becomes,” (p. 180). In Person-Centered therapy the counselor does not set goals for the client but supports the goals of the client, the counselor is…
