Question: Directions: Consider the case of Maria as presented to you in the module two and three introduction. According to Kottler and Shepartd (2015) working to understand and integrate the various theories about change and human nature can be a difficult and challenging task. For this assignment, write a 800-1200 word paper in which you:
1. Describe the stages of the counseling process applying each stage to what you might encounter in counseling Maria.
2. Identify the specific counseling skills you will need at each stage
3. Choose a counseling theory that would be most appropriately applied to this case and justify your choice.
You will need to use and cite three sources (including the textbook) in your paper.
This paper must:
• have a thesis statement (statement of purpose/intent), must indicate the topics to be covered
• use ONLY professional, objective language. Use objective, formal, not conversational tone/style
• use APA style
• use direct quotes sparingly - work on paraphrasing and appropriate citations for the paraphrased information
