The ABC model of crisis intervention is a method for conducting very brief mental health interviews with clients whose functioning level has decreased following a psychosocial stressor. This model is a problem -focused approach and is most effectively applied within 4 to 6 weeks of the stressor. (Kanel, K. 2007)p. 77 It is one way to structure crisis intervention that includes developing and maintaining contact, identifying the problem and coping. (Kanel, K. 2007) p. 25.

I told Delores that it is okay for her to cry. (Ivey, Gluckstern, & Ivey, 1997, p.19. As a crisis counselor we should display overall empathy by focusing only on your client.
