Progress monitoring in LEAP-based treatment should ideally occur:
Answer: Continuously, with regular collaborative check-ins with the client
Ongoing collaborative progress monitoring keeps goals relevant, reinforces engagement, and allows timely adjustments.
When a previously agreed-upon goal is no longer relevant to the client, the CLT therapist should:
Answer: Revise the goal collaboratively with the client to reflect current needs
Goals are living documents in LEAP; they must be updated collaboratively as the client's circumstances and priorities evolve.
A client reports achieving a goal but the therapist observes no behavioral change. What is the most appropriate LEAP-informed response?
Answer: Curiously explore what the goal achievement looks like for the client with specific examples
Curious exploration without confrontation is consistent with LEAP and may reveal a difference in how the client defines success.
Which outcome is the most meaningful indicator of success in LEAP-based goal setting?
Answer: The client's self-reported improvement in quality of life toward personal goals
LEAP centers the client's subjective experience of their own goals, making personal quality-of-life improvement the most client-aligned outcome.
A new CLT client refuses to complete standardized intake assessments. The most LEAP-consistent response is to:
Answer: Begin with conversation to build rapport and introduce assessments gradually
Building trust through rapport before formal assessment respects the LEAP sequence and reduces resistance to structured tools.
When assessing a client's strengths during intake, which approach is most consistent with LEAP-informed practice?
Answer: Ask the client directly what they are good at and what has helped them in the past
Asking clients directly about their strengths honors their perspective and supports a collaborative, strengths-based assessment process.
A CLT therapist completes an assessment and formulates goals without involving the client in the process. This approach violates which core LEAP principle?
Answer: Partnering
Partnering in LEAP requires active collaboration with the client in all phases of care, including goal formulation.
