Treatment Plan: Identified Problem: Client stated, I just feel anxious all the time Identified Goal: Reduce symptoms of anxiety Read the following objectives and choose

Treatment Plan:

Identified Problem: Client stated, "I just feel anxious all the time"

Identified Goal: "Reduce symptoms of anxiety"

Read the following objectives and choose which are correct.

Client will increase of positive coping skills from 0 times a week to 1-3 times a week, for 4 consecutive weeks, per client report, in 9 months

Correct: You're right!

There is a baseline behavior with a target behavior that is realistic, there is a time frame to complete, and there is a provided way to "prove" its being done.

Client will reduce panic attacks: Incorrect : You're right!

This is not measurable, meaning there is no baseline or target for measurable change, there is no time frame in which to complete the target change, and there is not way to "prove whether this has happened or notthat includes typically including either: "per client (or parent, teacher, etc...) report" OR "in session with therapist."

Client will increase utilization of positive coping skills for 4 consecutive weeks, per client report in 9 months: Incorrect: You're right!

There is no baseline to which you can compare increase of use.

Client will reduce symptoms of anxiety to no more than 3 per week: Incorrect: You're right!

There is a target behavior but no current baseline, no time frame to complete, and no way to demonstrate how it's being completed (per report or in session with therapist).

Client will identify 1-3 triggers of anxiety in session with therapist within three months: correct: You're right!

When learning a new skill, you don't need a baseline, so this is correct because it is measurable (and always good to give a range), there is "proof" of how its being done (in the session with therapist) and a time frame to complete.

Client will learn 2-5 coping skills in session with therapist within 6 months: correct: You're right!

This is just another example of how you can construct an objective similar to the previous one.

Client will identify 1-3 triggers of anxiety with therapist in 3 months: correct: You're right!

There is no "how will you prove this has been done".

Client will identify 1-3 triggers of anxiety in session with therapist: incorrect: You're right!

There is no time frame.

Therapist will work with client to identify anxious triggers: Incorrect:

You're right!

Objectives are never what the therapist is doing, that is an intervention. And speaking of interventions, unless you are truly CERTIFIED in a particular model of intervention, you must construct your interventions like this: "Therapist will utilize (insert model of therapy--- CBT, DBT, play, systems, TF-CBT, etc...) TECHNIQUES to assist client with decreasing symptoms of (insert problem).

Congratulations! You identified which objectives were correctly stated.

Now below:

Practice Exercise: Setting Goals and Objectives." Now, please construct the identified problem and goal, and correct treatment plan objectives from the activity. Then develop two more objectives and two more interventions. To finish this treatment plan, all of this should be submitted in a document.
