“…Further, counselor education program faculty should be mindful of the role that they might play in helping students grow in their role as future counselors. For example, faculty might employ a phenomenological method that enhances students’ critical thinking to develop a deeper understanding of lived experiences (Wilkinson et al., 2019). Finally, as the relationship between faculty and students appears influential to the growth process, it might be beneficial, then, to have a type of mentorship program.…”

Master's students and graduates in two Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) clinical mental health counseling programs participated in the Role of Meaningfulness Survey. The results indicated that a sense of meaningfulness and being true to yourself may particularly be important for those who choose a high "burnout profession," as it can contribute to their resiliency.

“…This is because counselling is a professional job that, in its expert service, does not only apply a set of fixed procedures but always thinks by mobilizing the academic abilities it controls to provide counselling services (Radjah, 2012). Research conducted by Wilkinson (2011) describes that novice counsellors often find it challenging to explore the counselee's condition and often feel anxious about the counselling intervention plans they provide. This is due to their low ability to activate metacognitive processes, so understanding the actual condition of the counselee's problems is not appropriate Wilkinson (2011).…”

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using real-life problems to improve novice counsellors' critical analytical thinking in humanistic counselling courses. The research method uses an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The instrument used is a critical-analytical thinking scale. The research sample used a purposive sampling technique, which consisted of 84 students of the 2018 Guidance and Counseling UNY Study Program who took the Humanistic Counseling course. The samples were separated into experimental and control groups of 42 students. The pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test using SPSS Amos 25 software. The results show that the use of real-life problems in the Humanistic Counseling course was proven effective in improving students' critical-analytical thinking as novice counsellors. As a result, students are more stimulated to practice analyzing cases in various ways and can activate their cognitive complexity processes as novice counsellors.

“…While dualistic thinking functions based on an absolute view, individuals with multiplistic thinking perceive all information seems similarly acceptable and do not search for the correct answers. Consequently, individuals with multiplistic thinking could be overwhelmed by the information and unable to decide on the available choices based on the obtained data (Wilkinson et al, 2020). Individuals with relativistic thinking perceive knowledge as contextual and use the best available information to make a decision.…”

This article aims to present a practical conceptual perspective on ecological counseling as a theoretical framework for counselors' integrative cognitive complexity to work with students who experience mental health challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition of educational activities into virtual learning has caused various challenges for students worldwide that risk their mental health. Indonesia is one of the countries implementing virtual learning for more than a year with various social, technical, and environmental obstacles. Besides the benefit of distanced learning, this online learning model has widely caused mild to severe anxiety among students. Although researchers have investigated the impacts of virtual learning on mental health problems, the intervention strategies to help students with mental health issues remain lack attention. Ecological counseling has been known for its principles of seeing individuals' mental health issues involving a broader milieu that allows counselors to understand clients according to their contextual living systems. This framework offers a culturally sensitive perspective to help counselors withdraw appropriate and best available information for intervention purposes. This article also includes an application illustration of the ecological counseling framework in the Indonesian community as a practical guideline. It is expected that this article provides academic supports for academics to work with students dealing with their mental health challenges during this pandemic adhere to the counselors' integrative cognitive complexity functions.Keywords: ecological counseling, cognitive complexity, COVID-19 mental health, counselors, Indonesia
