Abstract
As I have studied many theories of counseling, I have found characteristics within those theories that I agree with and would like to adopt, but there is no one established theory that I will adopt wholeheartedly. The model that would most closely describe my personal counseling style would be Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), although I would like to integrate elements of Adlerian, Behavioral, Existential, and Feminist therapies. The therapy elements I have chosen to adopt fit into my personal belief that psychology and religion are complimentary disciplines, as "God's sovereignty reigns over the contents of both," as they have "one Author and describe a single reality" (Entwistle, 2004, p. 229-230). While I intend to integrate my Christian values and beliefs into my counseling style, I also wish to maintain the flexibility of counseling non-religious clients, requiring an accurate understanding of counseling theory in a secular fashion.
