process involves a step-by-step approach.
1: Building a Warm Relationship
When you are hitting up a counselor to discuss your problems, you ought to
suffer from any serious issue concerning academics, relationships, career, or
anything else. The first thing your expert does is to make yourself comfortable
around him/her. He focuses on developing a warm relation and mutual trust first
to make sure you do not hesitate while speaking about the problems you are
facing.
2: Analysis
Now comes the second part, which is assessment. In this stage, the professional
encourages you to speak in detail about your problems to grab the roots of the
problem. He observes every minute detail from how you are speaking to your
reactions to certain questions that might come from his end. Once he assesses
the problem, the goal is fixed.

After a thorough evaluation of your problems, now comes the
significant section of goal setting. Considering the issues you are
facing the counselor sets a goal. That can be either you overcoming
the problem or reconciling with it.

to practice speaking in front of the mirror. This is just an instance.
Once you go through the plan for the desired tenure, he assesses your
improvement. If things seem normal, you are at the final stage! If not,
he might design something different.
5: Overcoming the Problem:-

action the consequent results are taken into consideration. If things
seem to go in the right direction and you start feeling relaxed, yes!
You have achieved your goal.
