Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person-centered counselor would not make assumptions about the client's gender identity or ask about their husband's opinion. Instead, they would focus on creating a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their interests and goals and work through any obstacles that may be preventing them from achieving those goals. They would likely encourage the client to speak more about their experiences with teasing and explore strategies for coping with and overcoming the negativity from others.
