Purpose: This study examined group members’ experiences unique to their NA culture and identity using the Earth-centered experien...
Single-case research designs (SCRDs) are a vital tool to study a variety of topics pertinent to the counseling profession. Furthermore, SCRDs are a flexible methodology that counselors can use to assess the effectiveness of their treatments, thus acting as scientist-practitioners. We aimed to report the types of data analytic procedures used in cou...
Single-case research designs (SCRDs) are a vital tool for researchers and practitioners in counseling to evaluate intervention and treatment effectiveness. This content analysis reviews the application of SCRDs in counseling to highlight knowledge accrued and existing gaps in the literature. We evaluated the methodological design and reporting adhe...
The authors implemented an A–B–A with follow‐up quasi‐experimental single‐case research design to assess the effectiveness of a consumer‐grade neurofeedback (NFB)‐assisted mindfulness‐based intervention (MBI) for reducing anxiety in high‐achieving high school students ( N = 5). Three of the participants from racial/ethnic minority and lower socioec...

Single-case research designs (SCRDs) are a vital tool for counseling researchers to evaluate intervention effectiveness and for counselors to evaluate the impact of their treatment. The purpose of this content analysis is to provide a review of the application of SCRDs in counseling to highlight knowledge accrued and gaps in the literature. We eval...
Single-case research design is a useful methodology to investigate counseling treatment effects through a time-series graph. A systematic review of 42 counseling journals was conducted, yielding 50 studies, including 272 graphs. Most graphs did not meet recommended guidelines. How graphs impact visual analysis and suggestions to enhance interpretab...
While the role of the natural environment is considered integral to the therapeutic process in Adventure therapy (AT), facilitators often only passively view it as a backdrop rather than intentionally using it as a co-facilitator of change. In this article, we propose a framework – AT-EcoWellness Framework – integrating EcoWellness with AT concepts...
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of eleven doctoral students at three CACREP accredited programs to address issues in counselor education and supervision programs and faculty face regarding gatekeeping. The information was used to develop and provide recommendations for gatekeeping procedures that can be implemen...
In this article, we outline standards and recommendations for single-case research design (SCRD) graph construction to improve readability, transparency, and interpretation. Prior research indicates large variability among graph representation resulting in misinterpretation and lack of clarity of reported findings. Prominent graph features are disc...

A mountain bike program was designed and adapted for the school setting with middle school-aged students during 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Two mountain bike groups were offered to facilitate training and development of mountain bike knowledge and skills: one group with integrated Adventure Therapy components to facilitate a therapeutic proce...
i. Objective: Single-case research designs are a useful methodology to investigate the effects of treatments within counseling. A core component of the design is the presentation of data collected repeatedly on a time-series graph. Research in the fields of special education and behavior analysis suggests most graphs do not adhere to reporting guid...
This study explored whether adolescents’ introspection increased while engaged in a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI). Using a quasi-experimental design, the researchers identified high school students (n = 13) with elevated levels of anxiety to participate in an 11-week, multiphase MBI. Participants’ introspection ability was assessed by compar...
This paper proposes the use of Adlerian theory to guide Adventure Therapy (AT), an active intervention that uses experiential techniques to foster client growth. Important Adlerian concepts identified in this paper include phenomenology, teleology, choice, superiority, social interest, and lifestyle, with further discussion into Adlerian theory as...
School counselors are encouraged to employ evidence-based practices to meet students' mental health needs, yet a scarcity of outcome research limits their access to adequately supported prevention and intervention resources (Griffith et al., 2019). To maximize their impact and time, school counselors should consider conducting group counseling with...
Clinical supervision is an essential aspect of counselor training. Apart from traditional models of supervision, many new and creative ways of conducting supervision have emerged. The integration of the Kawa Model that employs a metaphorical river, with Bernard’s Discrimination Model offers a culturally responsive and creative approach to clinical...
The COVID-19 pandemic made a resounding impact worldwide, forcing brick-and-mortar higher education institutions to move online. During this transition, students had to adjust while attempting to construct meaning amidst myriad of pandemic related challenges. At the same time, educators had to transition from in-person to online course delivery, wh...
We examined the publication trends of faculty in 396 CACREP-accredited counselor education and supervision (CES) programs based on Carnegie classification by exploring 5,250 publications over the last decade in 21 American Counseling Association and American Counseling Association division journals. Using Bayesian statistics, this study expounded u...
This study explored the group developmental process of Adventure Therapy (AT) conducted with 9th grade students (n = 20). Researchers measured avoidance, conflict, and cohesion and compared results from this study to the development of traditional counseling groups. Results suggested that AT groups follow a similar developmental process as traditio...
School counselors (SCs) are tasked with addressing the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students. As mental health issues experienced by school-aged children have increased, SCs have been unable to provide adequate mental health services. Because of barriers to receiving community based mental health services, school-based s...
