In the Collaborative-Dependent Consultation Model, what describes the counselor's role?

In the Collaborative-Dependent Consultation Model, the counselor serves as a supportive participant rather than the person who leads the intervention. The consultee—such as a teacher or administrator—identifies the issue, defines the plan, and carries out the intervention, while the counselor brings expertise, guidance, and resources to help along the way. The term dependent highlights that the consultee relies on the counselor’s input to implement the plan, not that the counselor makes all the decisions or directs every step. This arrangement emphasizes collaboration, feasibility, and building the consultee’s capacity to act, rather than having the counselor as the sole expert or delivering services directly without consultation.
