Problem: You are a professional counselor in a clinical setting. You have seen your client, Sarah, for approximately one month. One day toward the end of the session, Sarah informs you that she is currently struggling in paying for counseling services; she requests if you would consider accepting her professional cleaning services (office and home) in lieu of cash payment. During previous counseling sessions, Sarah has discussed her fear of not being able to pay for things she needs and how this often causes her anxiety.
