Direct Practice

Direct Practice refers to the hands-on work professionals perform, such as therapists, counselors, or social workers, when they engage directly with clients. It involves applying specific skills and techniques to help individuals, families, or groups address challenges, improve well-being, or achieve goals. This work is personalized and interactive, focusing on building relationships and implementing strategies firsthand. Essentially, it’s the active, personal part of helping that occurs face-to-face or through direct communication, aiming to create meaningful change in a person’s life through professional support and intervention.
