advising theories

Advising theories provide frameworks for understanding how to effectively guide individuals in making decisions, particularly in education and career choices. Key theories include the Developmental Theory, which emphasizes the growth of individuals and their changing needs over time; the Person-Centered Approach, focusing on the unique experiences and goals of the individual; and Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, which addresses decision-making processes influenced by thoughts and behaviors. These theories help advisors create supportive environments, tailor their guidance, and empower individuals to explore options and make informed choices that align with their values and aspirations.
