Empathy should be used throughout the helping process. It is important for building the therapeutic relationship and understanding the client's perspective. It can also help the client feel heard and validated, which can lead to greater trust and willingness to engage in the helping process. While empathy should not be used to justify or excuse harmful behaviors, it is still an important tool for effective counseling.
