career counseling theories

Career counseling theories are frameworks that help individuals understand how their interests, skills, values, and personality influence their career choices. For example, some theories suggest people are most satisfied when their job aligns with their personal strengths (Holland's Theory), while others emphasize exploring different options through self-assessment (Super's Developmental Theory). These theories guide counselors to support clients in discovering suitable careers by assessing their traits, experiences, and goals, ultimately helping them make informed, fulfilling career decisions aligned with their unique profiles.
