Summary:In this, the last of six sessions, the client reveals that she is feeling more optimistic and self-confident. She and the therapist explore the reasons for this, and he encourages her to analyze why this might be, so she can repeat these positive behaviors.

The therapist reinforces the client's interest in a career in counseling. The session ends with the therapist asking the client what has worked well for her in their sessions together and she mentions specific behaviors and techniques. On a final note, they determine the theme of friendship and social support as something the client should explore with her ongoing counselor.
