“…Our results confirm a directional relationship from affective distress to burnout in school counselors, which extends previous findings by Fye et al. (2021). Most importantly, results from our participant sample confirmed an indirect effect of affective distress on the relationship between wellness and burnout.…”

“…According to mean scores of the latent variables, school counselor participants in the current study overall endorsed lower wellness when compared to Lawson and Myers (2011), higher affective distress when compared to Fye et al. (2021), and higher burnout when compared to Fye et al. (2020).…”

“…Concurrent validity was established with the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1987) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1990). The DASS‐21 has been used in previous research with clinical mental health counselors (Fye et al., 2021). In our study, the internal consistency reliability for the full scale (21 items total) was α = 0.87.…”

“…To study these relationships, Fye et al. (2021) explored the relationships between affective distress and professional quality of life, which included burnout, in a sample of prelicensed counselors. The researchers tested the complex patterns of relationships simultaneously and did not study the directional relationships between the latent variables.…”

“…Fye et al. (2021) found large effect sizes for the latent constructs, between burnout and depression ( r = 0.81), burnout and anxiety ( r = 0.63), and burnout and stress ( r = 0.81). Similarly, psychological distress has also been negatively related to wellness in a sample of master's level counselor trainees (Smith et al., 2007).…”

This cross‐sectional study used structural equation modeling to examine the directional relationship between school counselors’ (N = 339) wellness and burnout and whether the latent variables were indirectly mediated by affective distress, while controlling for years of experience, student‐to‐school counselor ratios, percentage of time spent in counseling duties, and engagement in supervision monthly. Results found that engagement in supervision monthly was positively related to wellness and negatively related to burnout. Percentage of time spent in counseling duties was negative related to affective distress. Based upon the model fit, we found a statistically significant direct effect of wellness on burnout, while controlling for the indirect effect of affective distress (β = −0.32, p < 0.001). Additionally, wellness was significantly and negatively related to burnout (−0.32) and affective distress (−0.51). Affective distress was significantly and positively related to burnout (0.63). We discuss implications for the school counseling profession.

We used structural equation modeling to test client meaningful experiences in counseling and the therapeutic working alliance (TWA) as predictors of affective distress, controlling for clients’ age, gender, race and ethnicity, and length of counseling relationship. In a sample of 306 adult clients engaging in counseling, we a found statistically significant relationship between client meaningful experiences in counseling and the TWA (r = 0.80, p < 0.001). There was a significant and negative direct effect from client meaningful experiences in counseling to affective distress (β = −0.45, p < 0.001). However, we did not find a significant direct effect of the TWA on affective distress (β = −0.00, p = 0.97). Implications for counselors, supervisors, and counselor educators are discussed.

In the current study, we examined individual factors, organizational factors, COVID-19 anxiety, and trauma-informed supervision as predictors of prelicensed counsellor burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS). In a sample of 282 prelicensed counsellors, we conducted two hierarchical regression analyses for counsellor burnout and STS. The variables of interest accounted for 38% of the variance in counsellor burnout and 32% of the variance in counsellor STS. In the model of counsellor burnout, statistically significant variables included age, caseload, setting, COVID-19 anxiety, and trauma-informed supervision. For STS, statistically significant predictor variables were age, caseload, COVID-19 anxiety, and trauma-informed supervision. Implications of the findings for prelicensed counsellors, supervisors, and counselling researchers are discussed.
