Supervisory style focuses on the work environment to the extent it impacts the counselor and his/her clinical work.  Skills Development Model (goal is to increase supervisees’ skills and conceptual understanding of clients) and Personal Growth Model (goal is to increase the insight and affective sensitivity of the supervisee) are mostly used by way of case reviews, live observation, verbatim, and audio tapes.
