• Goal Setting: At the beginning of therapy, clear and measurable goals are established collaboratively between the therapist and client. Progress towards these goals can be tracked over time, with regular review and adjustment as needed.

• Symptom Reduction: For clients seeking therapy to address specific symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse, progress can be measured by tracking changes in the frequency and severity of symptoms using standardized assessment tools or self-report measures.

• Behavioral Changes: Progress in therapy can be assessed by tracking changes in specific behaviors or patterns of interaction that clients are working to address. This may involve monitoring behaviors between sessions or using behavioral tracking tools.

• Improved Functioning: Therapy aims to help clients improve their overall functioning in various areas of life, such as relationships, work, and daily activities. Progress can be measured by assessing changes in functioning and quality of life over time.
