You may be asked this question if you are new to the career field, just finished your post-secondary education, or if your resume reflects that you mainly led group sessions. If you do not have much experience working one-on-one with clients, that is okay. Let the interviewer know you have had the training and are ready to start! If you have experience working one-on-one with patients, discuss with the interviewer what type of settings they were in. Let the interviewer know that you can work within any patient setting.
