The person-centered therapeutic approach of Carl Rogers introduced a new insight to the counseling way as it placed a significance to patients’ ability to promote self-directed growth with a help from a genuine and empathetic counselor who could provide unconditional positive regard and acceptance to patients (Corey, 2017). The following section provides five examples of patient-counselor dialogue where a mental health counselor applies person-centered approach to the patient.
