Promoting Rigorous Research Using Innovative Qualitative Approaches
An increased understanding of research methodologies that can examine the outcomes or processes in counseling —as well as be inclusive of marginalized voices—is important in the counseling field. Understanding the components and interventions that are effective in counseling can help counseling professionals provide services that are more efficacious. Additionally, marginalized client voices are needed in scholarship, particularly in counseling process‐ and outcome‐based research; thus, it is imperative to utilize a variety of research methods, including emergent, qualitative methodologies. We review Q methodology,...

Promoting Rigorous Research: Generalizability and Qualitative Research
Although generalizability is not typically considered a feature or goal of qualitative research, it is an integral part of applying findings to advance knowledge in the counseling profession. First, we describe types of generalizability, the use of trustworthiness criteria, and strategies for maximizing generalizability within and across studies, then we discuss how the research approaches of grounded theory, autoethnography, content analysis, and metasynthesis can yield greater generalizability of findings. We then describe six phases for aggregating qualitative research to conduct a metasynthesis, which can be applied as...

Promoting Rigorous Research by Examining Lived Experiences: A Review of Four Qualitative Traditions
Counseling researchers often use qualitative research methods to explore phenomena. In particular, lived experience designs seek to answer how, what, and why questions to develop meaning or theory from the context and the people who lived the phenomenon. We review four lived experience traditions: phenomenology, consensual qualitative research, narrative inquiry, and case study. The appropriateness of these methods for counseling research and guidelines for design are presented. Recommendations for reporting coherence among the essential elements of a qualitative design are discussed to strengthen counseling researchers' a...

Advancing the Counseling Profession Through Contemporary Quantitative Approaches
To advance the counseling profession, researchers must look to contemporary research designs that provide more thorough, consistent, or reliable results. In this article, we describe four unique quantitative methods: single ‐case research design, dyadic data analysis, profile analysis, and nonlinear analysis. We detail the utility, application, and recommendations for use associated with each approach, including advances in the methods reviewed for future consideration in counseling research.

Advancing the Counseling Profession by Examining Relationships Between Variables
We provide counseling researchers an overview of correlational research design. More specifically, we discuss how researchers can determine whether the use of correlational research is appropriate, and we provide examples of correlational research questions and studies. Furthermore, we highlight several statistical analyses (i.e., regression analysis, path analysis, structural equation modeling, mediation, and moderation) aligned with correlational design. Finally, we review correlational design challenges and provide strategies to address them. (Source: Journal of Counseling and Development)

Advancing the Counseling Profession Through Intervention Research
In this article, we describe a type of research known as intervention research. With evidence ‐based practice becoming the industry standard across the mental health profession, the need for counselors to engage in intervention research is greater now than ever before. Intervention research not only leads to improved client care but also supports accountability and enhances advocacy effort s by providing the evidence needed to influence stakeholders and drive change. With proper training, both counseling researchers and practitioners can engage in intervention research that advances the profession by assessing the effica...

Contemporary Issues in Reporting Statistical, Practical, and Clinical Significance in Counseling Research
Null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST) represents a primary method of addressing quantitative results in counseling research. The use of NHST and the expression of results are often limited to the populations of interest, and many studies may not be replicable. Furthermore, the communication of results in terms of practical and clinical significance is not simply an extension of NHST but rather a necessary endeavor to communicate accurate and useful results. Communication and elucidation of effect size and confidence intervals, presentation of visual depictions of data, and alternative measures to express clinical sign...

A New Model for Social Justice Supervision
Social justice supervision honors the identities of the supervisee and the client, teaches social justice skills to the supervisee, and prioritizes social justice counseling outcomes in the supervisee's counseling work. The purpose of this article is to describe a comprehensive model for social justice supervision that mandates supervisor self ‐evaluation, explores supervisees' identities and strengths, emphasizes the social justice needs of clients, and uses social justice outcomes for clients as a measure of counseling success. Implications are explored. (Source: Journal of Counseling and Development)

Evidence for Relationships Between Hope, Resilience, and Mental Health Among Youth
Predictive modeling was used to evaluate the associations between hope, resilience, happiness, and mental health in 449 middle and high school students. Model results indicated large effect sizes for middle school (R2 = .28) and high school (R2 = .36) participants, with hope and resilience tending to predict self ‐reported mental health symptoms. These findings and their application to counseling practice are explained. (Source: Journal of Counseling and Development)

Exploring Counselor Experiences of Training in Relational Depth: An Interpretative Phenomenological Inquiry
Relational depth is an emergent counseling construct that captures the profound connection felt by client and counselor in moments of therapeutic encounter. We used interpretative phenomenological analysis to understand how 10 doctoral counseling students perceived curricular experiences designed to facilitate their ability to engage in relational depth. We identified the following themes: mutuality, counselor growth, externalized to internalized expectations, authenticity, impact of relational depth educational experiences, and relational depth reflection and articulation.

An Exploration of Young Clients' Experiences in Counseling With Post ‐Master's Counselors
This phenomenological study adds to current literature about clients' meaningful experiences in counseling by exploring the experiences of eight young clients (ages 8 –18) in individual counseling with post‐master's counselors in an outpatient setting. Interviews with these clients revealed the following six themes: (a) the process of growth, (b) having a safe place to talk, (c) counselor accepts and meets the client where they are, (d) counseling is a team e ffort, (e) supportive accountability from the counselor, and (f) understanding self and others. The final theme includes two subthemes: learning coping and emotio...
