According to the rules, should a licensee inform clients of any changes to the counseling agreement?

  1. A. Only if the changes benefit the client

  2. B. No, changes do not need to be communicated

  3. C. Yes, verbally is sufficient

  4. D. Yes, in writing prior to initiating changes

The correct answer is: D. Yes, in writing prior to initiating changes

Yes, in writing prior to initiating changes. According to ethical guidelines and laws, a licensee is required to inform clients of any changes to the counseling agreement. This must be done in writing prior to initiating any changes to ensure transparency and to allow clients the opportunity to ask questions or voice any concerns. Option A is incorrect because changes should be communicated regardless of whether they benefit the client. Option B is incorrect because changes do need to be communicated. Option C is incorrect because verbal communication may not be sufficient to ensure that the client fully understands the changes being made.
