Abstract
Counseling with any specific ethnic group requires the willingness to understand and a foundation of knowledge of the individuals within that group. These two areas of competency create a framework for working with clients who are diverse, especially if there is a difference between the client’s and counselor’s ethnicity. This is especially true for counselors working with Asian Americans because of the variety of educational, economic, religious, and cultural norms that this ethnic group embodies. There are many differences among Asian American groups in educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and perceived value of acculturation. A discussion of some of these facets in relation to culture of origin for Asian Americans is shared. These aspects of diversity offer a basis for implications and recommendations for counselors who work with this dynamic group of individuals. In addition, specific counseling techniques are discussed.
