Counselors Providing Care to Clients Who Self-Diagnose

Title:
Counselors Providing Care to Clients Who Self-Diagnose via the Internet and Social Media: A Grounded Theory
Authors:
Taylor M. Falardeau, Madeline Clark, John Laux, Susan M. Long, Jennifer Reynolds, Rachel Jacoby, Linda Waters, and Jarrod Cunningham
Description:
This article presents a grounded theory exploring how mental health counselors work with clients who self-diagnose using the Internet and social media. Drawing on interviews with practicing counselors, the authors develop a theoretical model that outlines the full therapeutic process. The article describes the origins of self-diagnosis and factors influencing treatment-seeking to counselor identity, therapeutic collaboration, interventions, and outcomes. The findings highlight both the potential benefits and risks associated with self-diagnosis. Practical implications emphasize the importance of rapport, collaborative exploration, psychoeducation, ethical considerations, and media literacy in counseling practice.

Cybercrime, Technology, and Trauma: A New Challenge

Title:
Cybercrime, Technology, and Trauma: A New Challenge for Counselors
Presenters:
Cathy Wilson, LPC, ACS, PFVC
Description:
Technology-facilitated crimes such as online fraud, romance scams, impersonation scams, investment scams, and other forms of cybercrime are affecting millions of individuals each year. As these crimes become increasingly sophisticated through the use of artificial intelligence, social engineering, and psychological manipulation, counselors are increasingly likely to encounter clients who have been impacted by them and are also increasingly likely to be targeted by scammers as well.
This presentation provides an introduction to the psychological and emotional impact of cybercrime victimization, as well as the potential secondary harm that can occur when victims are misunderstood by those who provide support. Participants will explore how technology is changing the landscape of victimization, why traditional assumptions about fraud victims may be inaccurate, and the emerging need for specialized awareness and training within the counseling profession.
This introductory program is designed to increase counselor awareness of this rapidly evolving issue.

Do Artificial Intelligence Clients Speak Like Human Clients?

Title:
Do Artificial Intelligence Clients Speak Like Human Clients? Exploring GPT-4’s Content-Level Performance in Counseling Role-Play
Presenters:
Xihe Tian, Yanhong Liu, Keni Li Zhang, Sarah Litt, Kahyen Shin, and Tanqiu Jian
Description:
Traditional role-playing methods in counselor education, such as peer counseling and actor-based simulations, enhance trainee competencies but have also created ethical dilemmas. These methods are not cost effective and may not capture and address client diversity. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), new opportunities have emerged for enhancing training through AI-driven simulations. This study explores the use of GPT-4, a large language model (LLM) with voice capabilities, for client simulation in counseling role-play practices. We created 12 fictional client scenarios and engaged in simulation sessions with the fictional clients via GPT-4, then assessed its content-level performance using qualitative content analysis. Findings indicated that GPT-4 showed high-level performance in generating client narratives that include realistic descriptions of presenting concerns, emotional experiences, and culturally relevant descriptions. These results suggest that GPT-4 may offer a cost-effective, accessible, and useful training tool for counselors to independently practice and enhance skills.

The primary objective of this comprehensive workshop is to enlighten clinicians about the myriad of benefits that come with leveraging social media platforms as a strategic tool for providing psychoeducation to the broader public.
