NATIONAL COUNSELOR EXAM PREPARATION
· There are two primary types of credentials in the counseling profession:
· Licenses or Certifications issued by a state licensing board (e.g., Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed School Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, State Certified School Counselor, State Certified Counselor, State Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider)
· Certifications issue by a national certifying board (e.g., Nationally Certified Counselor, Nationally Certified School Counselor)
· Both types of credentials are important; most counselors hold both a state licenses and/or state certification and a national certification. For example, most school counselors earn state credentials (either a state license or state certification depending on the state requirements) first and become national certified counselors (NCC) after practicing. Most clinical mental health counseling students, on the other hand, often become NCCs while in field experience and then gain state licensure or state certification after fulfilling state required post-graduate hours.
· The requirements for each credential vary by state and counseling setting, but ultimately most credentials require an exam such as a National Counselor Exam (NCE), the National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE), or a state board created exam.
· The study materials in this class address some of the core content of the NCE, which is part of the requirement for becoming a NCC. Although the resources are outlined for the NCE, they are useful to supplement any and all credentialing exams as the NCE assesses foundational counseling knowledge.

Here is the transcript
developing your expertise in a particular intervention
through exploration of published literature. And now, you're going to apply
that information to a case study. To demonstrate
that you understand how to go into the
literature, identify current empirical evidence to
support your decision-making as a counselor, you will
develop a polished research paper that applies your
findings to the case study. A guide has been provided
for you on the worksheet. You should transfer the headings
into an APA formatted research paper. At the beginning of your paper,
following your cover page, you want to write a
brief introduction which provides an overview of
the case study you chose, the client you're
focusing on, and what mental health disorder you are
going to approach treatment with for this client. Then, you're going to also
explain what intervention you're investigating. And you need to provide
some information in your introduction that gives
some background information and some scholarly
support for your project. So, for example, we've been
speaking of the case study with the combat veteran who's
presenting with PTSD symptoms. And if you chose to
utilize exposure therapy as your intervention,
then in your introduction, after you introduce your
case study and your client, when you're describing the
mental health disorder of PTSD, you would want to give a
little bit of information-- perhaps some data-- about the occurrence of
PTSD among combat veterans. And support that with
a scholarly source. When you identify
the intervention that you're
investigating, again, you want to give a
brief description. And you want to support
your description with scholarly research. This might come from a textbook. It might come from
a journal article. But essentially,
you want to make sure your introduction is rich
and validates your choices. Next, you're going to list your
approved research question. Remember, that you
received feedback in week one, which indicated
whether your question was approved or needed
to be revised. Make sure that you include
the approved question. Finally, describe
the search strategy that you used to
identify your articles. The most important
thing to remember is that this project
is an application of research to a case study. So when you develop
your annotations, you want to
demonstrate that you've learned how to analyze
articles identifying the most important
components and writing a summary of each one. You're going to write one
or two paragraphs, which provides an overview of the
article in your own words, and make sure to include
the critical elements of the purpose of the research,
the question that was being investigated, any ethical
or cultural considerations, the population that was
included, what sort of data was collected, how
they analyzed the data, and what their findings were. One key to remember
is that you want to make sure you
tell your reader what the answer to the
research question was that those researchers
were investigating. After you annotate
each article will be where you apply those
findings to your case study. You are essentially articulating
evidence-based practice. You're going to give
an overall summary of the findings for all
three articles you analyzed. Then, in your own words,
describe the outcomes of what the studies found, and
make your own judgment as to whether the intervention is
a good fit for your client. Make sure you clearly answer
your approved research question. If the topics in your articles
were related but don't match, you'll want to provide
some rationale for how you drew your conclusions
to answer the questions. Remember, the purpose
of this paragraph is for you to describe how
you would use this information for the work with
the client that you chose in the case study. You want to give a specific
example of clinical work that you would do based
on the information that you found in
the literature. Finally, you'll
finish your paper by writing one
preliminary treatment goal for your client
that shows how you might go about using
the intervention that you've chosen in practice. And you'll wrap it up
with a reference page that cites all the resources
that you've utilized to support your project. And then, you'll upload and
submit, and you will be done. If you have any
questions or concerns, make sure to reach
out to your faculty member who will be happy to
provide you with any needed support. [music playing]

Final Project
Title of the Paper in Full
Student Name
Program Name or Degree Name (e.g., Master of Science in Nursing), Walden University
COURSE XX: Title of Course
Instructor Name
Month XX, 202X
Write a brief introduction that identifies which case study, client, and mental health
disorder you chose for your project. Be sure to fully describe your client and include details about what behaviors bring the client to counseling. The presenting problem is described as what is going “wrong” for the client. Describe what happens to the client that is causing difficulty in everyday living circumstances. What is the mental health concern that is driving the problematic behaviors? Clearly identify both the presenting problem and the mental health concern (e.g. death of a significant other can cause depression).
Then identify the intervention you are investigating for use in evidence-based practice. Describe the intervention and describe how you will use it for your selected client. This is where you introduce the purpose and format of the paper. Keep in mind that each section (under each heading) will need at least one paragraph (i.e., a minimum of three sentences).
Research Question
Insert your approved research question. Remember that each paragraph should have a minimum of three (3) sentences. You might include information about the mental health issue you are examining and the intervention to be used.
Search Strategy
Please describe the process you used to find the 3 articles you selected. This process will include the steps you used in the Walden Library (or another library source). Describe the Boolean search strategies and key words you used to conduct your search. Be thorough in your description of how you conducted your professional literature search. Explain how you know the articles you selected are peer reviewed. Also remember that you should have 1 qualitative, 1quantitative article and another article of your choice between qualitative and quantitative. Remember that each paragraph should have a minimum of three (3) sentences.
Article 1
Provide the APA reference here. When providing an APA formatted article reference, a hanging indent should be used. To do this, go to the top tools bar, home, paragraph, there is a box that says “special”. You can select that box and you will see “Hanging”. Select it and your reference will be formatted correctly.
Summary of article
In the one or two paragraph summaries, please include the following: purpose of the study, what is the overall issue/problem being investigated, including methodology providing a description of how the study was conducted and whether it is quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. Provide a concise overview of the procedures ( methods) that describe the who, what, when, where and how of the research. Next report the results (also known as outcomes). Please report any ethical or cultural considerations (e.g., IRB approval, bias, etc.). Finally, how the results are connected to counseling practice and the selected case study. For example, in the article you selected what was the purpose of the article. Was the article using the intervention you chose with a similar client/problem? Be sure you include the results (whether the intervention worked or not).
Article 2
Provide the APA reference here. When providing an APA formatted article reference, a hanging indent should be used. To do this, go to the top tools bar, home, paragraph, there is a box that says “special”. You can select that box and you will see “Hanging”. Select it and your reference will be formatted.

Evidence-based practice and application to case study
In this section, give an overall summary of the findings for all three articles you analyzed. Describe the general outcomes of what the studies found in terms of how well the intervention worked with the disorder and population you were exploring. Answer the research question. If the topics in your articles were related but do not match, explain how you drew your conclusions to answer the research question. Describe how you would use this information in your work with the client in your chosen case study. Give one specific example of clinical application of the intervention using a scenario that includes your client from the case study.
With consideration for the presenting problem of the client and your chosen intervention, write one preliminary treatment goal for your client. A mental health treatment plan (or action plan) is simply a set of written instructions and records relating to the treatment of the problematic behavior or diagnosis. Please use the following suggestions as a guide for this section. A treatment plan does many things, the most important of which include defining the problem or ailment; describing the treatment prescribed by the health/mental health professional; setting a timeline for treatment progress; identifying the major treatment goals, and noting important milestones and objectives.
This is important to demonstrate how the research you found would lead to an effective treatment for your client.
With consideration for the mental health issue of the client, create an Action Plan of next steps a School Counselor could take once the issues are identified. Discuss three different actions to help the client as applied to the role of a school counselor.
Implementation strategies are critical to effectively address the needs of our students. Discuss the Mindset Standard(s) and Behavior Standard(s) students will demonstrate through classroom lessons, activities and/or individual/small group counseling. Please see https://www.schoolcounselor.org/asca/media/asca/home/MindsetsBehaviors.pdf
Managing data is key. Consider how such competencies would be measured to assess student progress.
Please remember to add a conclusion paragraph. The conclusion should include a summary of what you included in your paper. You should outline the salient points that you have made and include how this information will impact your future practice as a counselor. The conclusion is a way for you to reinforce the points you were attempting to make as well as ensure that you have covered all the expectations for the assignment.
