Clinicаl Cаse Vignette B: Giselle Agency Fаctоrs:Placement Site: Cоmmunity-Based Nоnprofit PracticeThis nonprofit provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive, strengths-based mental health services. Treatment may range from short- to longer-term depending on client needs. Supervisors expect therapists-in-training to prioritize client safety, autonomy, and cultural responsiveness while documenting strengths and measurable therapeutic progress in each session. Therapist Factors: You are asked to provide Giselle individual counseling services. Client Factors:Giselle is a 30-year-old Hispanic woman and full-time elementary school teacher seeking individual counseling following a recent divorce she initiated due to escalating emotional abuse and fear that her partner’s behavior could harm their children. She has full custody of her two children (ages 4 and 2) and is experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and crying spells that sometimes interfere with parenting. She feels overwhelmed and increasingly isolated from her support system. Her mother would like to help with childcare but feels constrained by Giselle's father’s strong disapproval of the divorce, which intensifies Giselle's guilt and emotional strain. Her siblings live out of state. Giselle was raised in a close-knit family where her father’s strong provider role and emotionally intense presence shaped the household, leading her to prioritize others’ emotions over her own and struggle to identify and express her own needs. She has also distanced herself from her religious community due to concerns about gossip and judgment. Although motivated to move forward, Giselle feels uncertain about how to rebuild her self-esteem, develop healthy relationships, and reconnect with supportive community. ----------------------------- Question 2. Please explain the presenting issue from your chosen theory using core concepts. (3 pts)
