2 Focus on Strengthening Therapeutic Relationship (2)The relationship with the client was strengthened using empirically supported factors.The relationship with client was strengthened through the implementation of a collaborative approach, agreement on goals, demonstration of empathy, verbalization of positive regard, and collection of client feedback.The client reacted positively to the relationship-strengthening measures taken.The client verbalized feeling supported and understood during therapy sessions.Despite attempts to strengthen the therapeutic relationship, the client reports feeling distant and misunderstood.The client has indicated that sessions are not helpful and will be terminating therapy.

3 Assess Nature of Anxiety Symptoms (3)The client was asked about the frequency, intensity, duration, and history of his/her/their anxiety symptoms, fear, and avoidance.The Anxiety and Related Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-5 (DiNardo, Brown, and Barlow) was used to assess the client's anxiety symptoms.The assessment of the client's anxiety symptoms indicated that his/her/their symptoms are extreme and severely interfere with his/her/their life.The assessment of the client's anxiety symptoms indicates that these symptoms are moderate and occasionally interfere with his/her/their daily functioning.The results of the assessment of the client's anxiety symptoms indicate that these symptoms are mild and rarely interfere with his/her/their daily functioning.The results of the assessment of the client's anxiety symptoms were reviewed with the client.

4 Administer Client-Report Measure (4)A client-report measure was used to further assess the depth and breadth of the client's anxiety responses.The Penn State Worry Questionnaire (Meyer, Miller, Metzger, and Borkevec) was used to assess the depth and breadth of the client's anxiety responses.OQ-45.2 (Lambert and Burlingame) was used to assess the depth and breadth of the client's anxiety responses at the outset of treatment.The Symptom Checklist-90-R (Derogatis) was used to assess the client's level of anxiety.The client-report measure indicated that the client's anxiety is extreme and severely interferes with his/her/their life.The client-report measure indicated that the client's anxiety is moderate and occasionally interferes with his/her/their daily life.The client-report measure indicated that the client's anxiety is mild and rarely interferes with his/her/their daily life.
