For the purpose of this discussion, I decided to explore both existential theory and Person-centered Therapy. The core conditions within Person-Centered Therapy that are needed in order for sufficient change to take place are contact, authenticity, unconditional positive regard, and empathy (Montgomery, 2019). In existential psychotherapy, it is assumed that inner conflict within the client comes from them confronting the givens of existence (Montgomery, 2019). There are four of these givens which are; death, freedom and resulting responsibility, existential aloneness, and meaninglessness (Montgomery, 2019). These can be incorporated into counseling sessions by highlighting topics of self-awareness, isolation, personal meaning, and angst as well as the four givens referenced earlier (Montgomery, 2019). Both existential psychotherapy and Person-centered therapy place emphasis on the relationship between counselor and client as a factor of change. Developing invitational skills will help build rapport with the client which is essential when facilitating existential or person-centered theory. Non-verbal skills like attentive silence, voice tone, and facial expressions will help with the core condition of authenticity in person-centered theory that can be used throughout sessions to create genuine connection and conversation (Young, 2020). Paraphrasing in sessions will help create an environment where clients can feel they are heard and the counselor is engaged in their concerns which allows the counselor to provide empathy (Young, 2020). Existential theory can be incorporated into a counselor when there is a connection to any of the givens of existence referenced earlier. This can be done by reflecting feeling, reflecting meaning, and summarizing.
