As an alcohol and drug counselor, you instruct, provide information resources, guide and encourage the person to find his or her own goals and achieve them, and listen to their experiences and feelings. How you describe your counseling style will make or break this interview question. Too lax and it will seem as if you don't care about the patient. Too firm and you might intimidate. Do you bring visuals to the session, or pay a game? Whatever style you choose during your counseling session let the interviewer know that you give it 110%.

"I have more of a question and answer counseling style rather than me lecturing them or telling them what to do. I encourage my patients to ask questions so that I can be sure that they fully understand what I'm asking of them and that they know the importance of living a clean life."
