75-150-word response to each question in all four of the scenarios
presented below. Use the ACA and NAADAC Codes of Ethics and other
scholarly resources to support your responses. You must provide at
least one properly formatted APA citation and accompanying

Scenario One: Barbara is a licensed professional
counselor (LPC) working for a nonprofit social service agency. Many
of the clients in the agency are female domestic violence victims.
The director of the agency has asked Barbara to develop a
counseling group to serve the needs of these individuals.
Question One: What ethical matters should Barbara consider as
she plans this group?
Question Two: What methods should Barbara use to ensure
confidentiality in the context of group counseling?
Question Three: If breaches of confidentiality occur, how
should Barbara manage them?
Scenario Two: David is a licensed professional counselor
(LPC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) working
for a family counseling center. Steve, one of his adult clients,
would like to begin couples counseling with his wife.
Question One: What ethical matters should David consider
before beginning to see Steve and his wife?
Question Two: What special issues of confidentiality may
arise in the case? How should David address these issues?
Question Three: How might differences in personal values and
gender/cultural issues create ethical dilemmas in this case?
Scenario Three: Stephanie is a licensed professional
counselor (LPC) who has decided to start a private practice as she
transitions from public to private practice. As she makes her
plans, there are many ethical issues she must consider. While these
issues are of concern to all counselors, she must consider how they
specifically impact a counselor in private practice.
Question One: How can she ethically handle limited resources,
deal with cost containment issues, respond to discrimination, and
promote community change?
Question Two: As a service provider, with what ethical issues
and practices related to state insurance laws and managed care must
she be familiar?
Question Three: What are the ethical obligations and
limitations faced by a counselor who serves clients who have been
the victim of discrimination, injustice, poverty, or lack of access
to behavioral health services? What best practice community based
interventions could she refer her clients to?
Section Four: Amari has recently passed her NCMHCE and
will soon be considered an independent clinical practitioner. Her
husband is in the military and they travel often. Amari hopes to
strictly provide distance counseling in her private practice. She
has never provided distance counseling nor does she know of anyone
who does it. Rely heavily on Section H: Distance Counseling,
Technology, and Social Media of the American Counseling
Association’s Code of Ethics to consider the following.
Question One: What should Amari consider in regards to
distance counseling?
